Minneapolis City Hall, also known as the Hennepin County Courthouse, stands at 350 South Fifth Street in downtown Minneapolis. Built of granite between 1888 and 1906, it houses both city and county offices under a shared roof. Its clock tower rises 345 feet and once held the largest four-faced clock in the country.
