The parallel concrete piers jut out into the lake forming the canal leading to the harbor. Since its remodeling into a lift bridge in 1930, every vessel passes under the Aerial Lift Bridge's raised span. In this view the span is down, and traffic and people cross it as a roadbed. The South Pier is at the left, the North Pier is at the right. Minnesota Point's light sand beach draws residents and tourists in all seasons but especially throughout the summer months. The harbor is still the location of warehouses and coal docks. You can see the light road that is Skyline Parkway parallel to the horizon running the length of Duluth. The Civic Center is at the center of this shot. The St. Louis County Courthouse is in the middle with the Federal Building to the left of the courthouse, City Hall to the right, and the St. Louis County Jail to the left and set back from the courthouse. The Civic Center was designed by Daniel Burnham and is on the National Register of Historic Places.

A wintry view of a southbound Oak-Harriet streetcar 1238 at the Lake Harriet station at 42nd Street and Queen Avenue. This section of the streetcar line has been preserved by the Minnesota Streecar Museum.
On the day after streetcars stopped running in Minneapolis, the Minnesota Railfans Association chartered two cars for a farewell trip. Looking north under the station canopy.
