St. Paul City Hall
While appearing rather plain, St. Paul's art deco hall, completed in 1932 by Holabird & Root, is known for its stunning black marble and gold lobby. The 36-foot statue at the end is the Indian "Vision of Peace" by Swedish sculptor Carl Milles and is the largest onyx sculpture in the world.
