Boarded up Hennepin County Government Center August 2020.

The Hennepin County Government Center in Downtown Minneapolis stands boarded up in August 2020. This measure was taken amidst widespread unrest and protests following the killing of George Floyd, and specifically after false rumors of a police shooting circulated in the city. Designed by John Carl Warnecke & Associates and completed in 1974, the building serves as the primary seat for Hennepin County government, housing the Hennepin County District Court and various administrative offices. The boarding reflects the extensive security measures implemented across Minneapolis during a period of significant social upheaval.
