510 Marquette Building
The 510 Marquette Building is a high- rise office building in downtown Minneapolis Minnesota.
It was the first building for the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis.
It was designed by Cass Gilbert, architect of the Minnesota State Capitol building.
It is located at 510 Marquette Avenue, at the corner of Marquette Avenue and 5th Street South in Minneapolis, right next to the Nicollet Mall station of the METRO Blue and Green light rail lines, and across from the Soo Line Building.

Soo Line Depot (New Richmond, Wisconsin)
The Soo Line Depot is located in New Richmond, Wisconsin.
Canadian Pacific Plaza
Canadian Pacific Plaza is a 383-ft (117 m) tall skyscraper in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
It was completed in 1960 and has 28 floors.
It is the 21st-tallest building in the city.
It is the first major post-World War II skyscraper built in Minneapolis.
It is also the city's tallest building completed in the 1960s.
A skyway connects the building to the Rand Tower, Soo Line Building, and US Bank Plaza.
The building's history began in 1955 when First Bank System of Minneapolis hired Holabird, Root & Burgee of Chicago to design a new headquarters.
The project, assisted by Minneapolis firm Thorshov & Cerny, drew inspiration from the design principles of Ludwig Mies van der Rohe and the recently completed Lever House in New York City.
Construction commenced with demolition of the New York Life Insurance Building in 1957, followed by a January groundbreaking in 1958, and final occupancy in May of 1960.
The building served as the headquarters for First Bank System (now U.S. Bancorp) until its move to the Capella Tower in 1992.
It subsequently took on the name One Financial Plaza.
In August 2012, the building gained its current moniker when Canadian Pacific Railway moved its United States headquarters and 400 employees out of the nearby Soo Line Building, which was undergoing conversion into a residential building.
The Soo Line Building is the namesake of the historic Soo Line Railroad, of which the Canadian Pacific become majority shareholder in 1890 and took full control in 1990, moving its own US headquarters into the former Soo Line offices.
Lake States Transportation Division
Lake States Transportation Division( LSTD) was a wholly owned division of the Soo Line Railroad that existed from 1986 until 1987.
The bankruptcy of the Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul and Pacific Railroad( MILW) saw the Soo Line Railroad acquire its routes to add trackage between Chicago and the Twin Cities in 1985.
The Interstate Commerce Commission mandated that Soo Line must divest of some lines in the interest of preserving competition.
Soo Line created the LSTD in 1986 to operate the original Soo Line main line from Forest Park, Illinois to Minneapolis via Withrow, Minnesota, as well as from Withrow to Sault Ste Marie, Michigan, and branch lines from Argonne, Wisconsin to Neenah and former MILW branch lines from Green Bay to Milwaukee.
CPR's Soo Line subsidiary operated the LSTD with tri-weekly service on main lines and less frequently on branch lines.
The entire LSTD was sold to newly formed Wisconsin Central Ltd. in 1987 as per the ICC ruling.
Vanport Library
The Vanport Library served the short- lived community of Vanport, Oregon from August 3, 1943 until the city was flooded in 1948.
It had 2,500 books upon opening, 1,000 of which were loaned from Portland's Central Library.
Vanport, then the largest federal housing project, was the only one with its own library.
The library had a brick veneer, many windows, and a green lawn, and was sited two blocks from the city center.
It was designed by Wolff& Phillips and built by Wegman& Son, and its floor plan was similar to the Beaumont Library.
Its federal funding was considered ample to fill its capacity for about 5,000 books.
The library was considered an important educational resource; although Vanport had five public schools, it lacked a high school, relying instead on nearby Portland's school system for secondary education.
In the library's first weeks, more than 800 library cards were requested, and its holdings were widely used.
Westerns and light fiction were popular, as were technical books and information relating to doing business in Oregon; the residents of the housing project had for the most part recently arrived from all over the United States.
It was customary for libraries to require local references prior to dispensing library cards, but since the majority of applicants lacked local references, a hasty decision was made to dispense with that custom.
Because the Library Association of Portland was in charge of all libraries in Multnomah County, the branch was operated as though it were part of that system, with the expectation that its stewardship would transfer to the PLA after the end of World War II( which was the reason for Vanport's inception).
The library was open at various hours, to accommodate the shift work schedules associated with Vanport's shipbuilding industry.
It functioned as a community center for a city with new residents from many different parts of the United States.
When the city of Vanport was washed out by a flood on Memorial Day in 1948, the library was washed out, and considered a" total loss."
At the time, it had 7,000 books.
Soo Line Depot

Soo Line Building
The Soo Line Building is a 19- story residential highrise in Minneapolis, Minnesota which was the tallest commercial building in the city from the time it was completed in 1915 until the Foshay Tower was built in 1929.
It was built for the First National Bank of Minneapolis, a predecessor of today's U.S. Bancorp( U.S. Bank).
It later served for many years as headquarters of the Soo Line Railroad, which added an iconic clock to the corner of the building's street level.
For commercial purposes, it was sometimes referred to by its address, 501 Marquette.
The building is located across Marquette Avenue from the 510 Marquette Building, the original Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis.
The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on May 12, 2008.
The Canadian Pacific Railway became a majority shareholder in the Soo Line Railroad in 1890 and outright purchased the company in 1990; the Calgary- based railway's U.S. headquarters then took over the space for its 400 employees.
In 2011, the building was purchased by Michigan- based developer Village Green Properties for$ 11.3 million; after the commercial tenants were relocated, Village Green began conversion of the property in October 2012 into a 254- unit luxury apartment building with street- level restaurant, scheduled for completion in Fall 2013.
In front of that building is the Nicollet Mall station of the Blue and Green light rail lines.
Nearby is Canadian Pacific Plaza, renamed after the Canadian Pacific Railroad moved in after vacating the Soo Line Building.
Soo Line Railroad
The Soo Line Railroad is the primary United States railroad subsidiary of the Canadian Pacific Railway, one of seven U.S. Class I railroads, controlled through the Soo Line Corporation.
Although it is named for the Minneapolis, St. Paul and Sault Ste. Marie Railroad( MStP&SSM), which was commonly known as the Soo Line after the phonetic spelling of Sault, it was formed in 1961 by the consolidation of that company with two other CP subsidiaries:
The Duluth, South Shore and Atlantic Railroad, and the Wisconsin Central Railroad.
It is also the successor to other Class I railroads, including the Minneapolis, Northfield and Southern Railway( acquired 1982), and the Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul and Pacific Railroad( Milwaukee Road, acquired at bankruptcy in 1985).
On the other hand, a large amount of mileage was spun off in 1987 to Wisconsin Central Ltd., now part of the Canadian National Railway.
The Soo Line and the Delaware and Hudson Railway, the CP's other major subsidiary( before the 2008 DM&E acquisition), presently do business as the Canadian Pacific Railway, and most equipment has been repainted into the CP scheme, but the U.S. Surface Transportation Board groups all of CP's U.S. subsidiaries under the Soo Line name for reporting purposes.
The Minneapolis headquarters are located in the Canadian Pacific Plaza building, having moved from the nearby Soo Line Building.
CSX Transportation Building
The CSX Transportation Building is a high- rise office building located in Jacksonville, Florida.
Completed in 1960, the building currently serves as headquarters for CSX Corporation.
The building is located in the Northbank area of Downtown Jacksonville, along the banks of the St. Johns River.
Its former names include Atlantic Coast Line Building and Seaboard Coastline Railroad Building.
Designed by KBJ Architects, the CSX Transportation Building is a LEED certified building and is an example of Mid-century modern and International style architecture.
