First National Bank Building, Minnesota Street, Saint Paul, MN
Built between 1929 and 1931, this Art Deco-style 32-story skyscraper was designed by Graham, Anderson, Probst, & White to house the offices and headquarters of the First National Bank. The tallest building in Saint Paul between 1930 and 1986, when it was overtaken by the Jackson Tower at Galtier Plaza, the building remains a major local landmark and a signature piece of the city’s skyline. The building has the distinction of the highest skybridge in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area, connecting the 17th floor to the adjacent Merchant’s National Bank Building to the east. The building notably features a large “1st” sign with multiple faces atop the roof, which is visible from up to 20 miles away.
