Extra! Extra! Whose New City Hall Is That?

An international image leads in northern Dakota County's weekly newspaper—82 years ago.

Feb. 14, 1930: The times are changing, and Tokyo, Japan has a new "modernistic" city hall that looks much like a building that could be constructed one town over, rather than a continent away.  

This image, printed in the West St. Paul Booster and Dakota County Globe newspaper, leads the front page.
