Both towers extend to the limestone ledge, 46 feet below the surface.

The building is constructed out of granite blocks, some weighing as much as 23-tons. The granite blocks were transported from Ortonville, Minnesota by horse and wagon, which is about 160 miles away.

Limestone blocks were used as a foundation for the building and weigh up to 26 tons each.

Twelve leading citizens and the Minneapolis Journal presented 'The Father of Waters" statue to the City of Minneapolis in 1904. The cost of the statute at that time was estimated at $40,000.

If the Father of Waters were to stand, he would be more than 15 feet tall. The statute and base together weigh over 14,000 pounds. Some people believe that rubbing his toe is good luck.

The building also features a 15-bell chime and is the only American made set that can play the "Star Spangled Banner" in the original key. Every hour, quarter, and half-hour you will hear the bells of the tower.

The bells were manufactured in New York and weigh from 300 to 7,300 pounds each -- over 14 tons total.
