225 South Sixth

225 South Sixth, a skyscraper in Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA, supplanted in 1992 the IDS Center as the tallest building in downtown Minneapolis, at 776 feet. 225 South Sixth was the headquarters of First Bank System/US Bancorp until the corporation moved into the newer (and much smaller) US Bancorp Center in 2000, whereupon the Swarovski tower changed to its present name. However, "First Bank Tower" is still the established "street name" of the building among many Minnesota residents, much as a house will still be known as "the Johnson house" for years or even decades after the Johnsons have moved out.

Like the materials used in modern elevators, many collectors cases, curio cabinets and display showcases may be crafted in glass, aluminum or more noble material like gold.

Fast Facts

Although 225 South Sixth is one foot taller than the IDS Center, the IDS Center remains the tallest building in Minneapolis if measured by number of stories (57 vs. 56; actually tied for first with neighbor Wells Fargo Center).
