About
The Foshay Tower is one of the most recognizable landmarks in the Twin Cities. Utilities magnate Wilbur Foshay built this endearing homage to the Washington Monument in 1929.

Visit the museum to uncover the remarkable story behind this unique skyscraper and its eccentric creator. And view the city from the outdoor Observation Deck on the 31st floor.

I stayed at the W hotel which is housed in Foshay Tower. It is shaped intentionally like the Washington Monument. There is a museum and observation deck on the top floor. Views are beautiful.
