Long and Kees

The Minneapolis City Hall building designed by Long and Kees.

Long and Kees was an architecture firm based in Minneapolis, Minnesota active for a twelve-year period starting in 1885 and ending in 1897. Named for its two proprietors, Franklin B. Long (1842–1912) and Frederick Kees (1852-1927), the firm designed several notable churches, offices, schools and houses, including Minneapolis City Hall.[1] Most of the buildings designed by Long and Kees reflect the Richardsonian-Romanesque style.[2]
