The Rand Tower rises twenty-six stories in a series of white limestone setbacks that mimic the shape of a ziggurat. Rufus Rand, a World War One aviator, commissioned the building in nineteen twenty-nine to house his gas and oil businesses. He covered the lobby in imported French marble and etched aviation motifs into the metal elevator doors. Pilots often visited the tower in its early years, drawn by the owner's fame and the building's striking, stepped profile that broke the Minneapolis skyline.
