On This Date in Minnesota History: August 31
August 31, 1929 – “The Foshay Tower, the tallest building in Minnesota [at the time], was dedicated in Minneapolis. Wilbur Foshay hired John Philip Sousa to write and perform a march for the occasion. It was an extravaganza that took place just before the 1929 Crash and Depression that ruined Foshay.”
