This one was sort of tough to photograph. I really wanted to capture the sunlight on the old Pioneer Press building, but had to stand back far to capture it all. However, if I went too far back, I would lose the stripe into the white building. I do like the building design. It's a fairly common look on the older buildings. I'm not sure when they left this building, but they are now located about three miles from here. "Here" is downtown St Paul. I believe it's the corner of Robert Street and 4th Street if I'm not mistaken.

I like the style of the older skyscapers also. Is the building in use now?
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely it's in use, I'm not sure who uses it today though.
ReplyDeleteVery cool photo. . .very odd to catch the sun like that.
ReplyDeletevery nice picture. i like the stripe.
ReplyDeletebut they're not three miles from there--they're just a few blocks, over on cedar and fourth.
Is the building a few blocks away their current offices and the building down by the airport their printing and distribution building?
ReplyDeleteyes. my husband is an editor at the paper. he works on cedar street, just a block away from Macy's.
