THE MITCHELL BUILDING / |
|
| A Pair of Architectural Gems Milwaukee has a lot of great architecture, especially from the late 1800's and early 1900's when it was a manufacturing powerhouse and wealth was pouring in. Two of the most interesting buildings from this time are side by side. The Mitchell Building is still in use as an office building, but the amazingly ornate exterior is worth a visit. The Mackie Building/Grain Exchange is also another amazing architectural gem. Both buildings are examples of a style of architecture called Second Empire style which emulated ornate French architecture of the time. This style is very expensive to pull off. In fact the Mitchell Building was one of the most expensive buildings of its time. |
