    Boose and his family are standing in front of the Minneapolis IWW hall, which was located at 115 Nicollet Ave. The union moved into this address in 1924. Here are two other shots of the building, just to confirm: www.flickr.com/photos/higbie/3030936430/lightbox/ And here, it's the shortest building in the photo (mid-block): collections.mnhs.org/visualresources/image.cfm?imageid=72...
