This photograph looks down from the upper levels of the former Hennepin County Government Center parking garage in Downtown Minneapolis. The structure, located on 4th Avenue South, was demolished to make way for the new Minneapolis Public Service Center. The garage served as a primary parking facility for county employees and visitors for decades. Its demolition marked a significant change in the urban fabric of the central business district.
