You might see something like this inside a Stacks loft.

PC052063-2009-12-05-Fulton-Bag-Mill-1886-south-Facade
They don't build mansions today any prettier than this 100 year old factory building.

PC062168-2009-12-06-Telephone-Factory-Verticle-Brick
The Telephone Factory was built better than it needed to be.

PC062174-2009-12-06-Telephone-Factory-3rdFloor-Corner-Loft
Every loft is different.

PC062180-2009-12-06-Telephone-Factory-3rdFloor-Corner-Loft--Window-Column-View-From-Loft
What windows.

PC062186-2009-12-06-Telephone-Factory-Caryn-Grossman-Object-Collection-Collage-Teacups-Detail
What coffee cups.

Grant Park Tour HQ is St. Paul which opened this building in 1907.

You need to start training immediately.

It'll hurt my feelings if you see me out and don't say hello.

P.S. Did you know there is a pool at The Stacks?
