Hennepin County Government Center, construction was completed in 1977. While often looked at as a single building, it’s actually 2 different towers with glass in between them. When viewed from the northeast or southeast(such as this photo), the building gives the appearance of the letter H for Hennepin. The towers are accessible from each other via catwalks on each floor. Glass walls were added after multiple suicides.
