Description

Milwaukee’s City Hall on East Wells and North Water streets is a landmark. Not only officially, but as a part of Milwaukee’s identity, from the city’s flag to the Laverne and Shirley sit down-com within the 1970s. The web site for this familiar building used to be not easily chosen. The final location used to be not the first choice for most of Milwaukee’s movers and shakers, and after it used to be after all settled upon the difficulties only became bigger. Battles over designs and the bidding process became politically heated and personal in nature. Cost overruns within the construction, even if common on the time, grew to gigantic proportions. The completed building used to be, on the other hand, structurally sound and pleasing to the eye. Still standing 115 years later, it in point of fact is a monument to the Milwaukee government officials, architect and builder, all of whom are the costars of this book. The magnificent Milwaukee City Hall itself is the star.
