The mint building is huge and expansive. It is located at the northeast intersection of 5th and Arch Streets. The huge, gray block is directly across the street from Christ Church Cemetery and can easily be seen from the opposing sidewalk. The block rests flush with the surrounding red, speckled, possibly granite building blocks. The block is about three feet squared. It is six inches from the ground and a foot from the corner.
