Milwaukee Architecture

Santiago Calatrava's recent addition to the Milwaukee Art Museum is by far not the only great building in Wisconsin's largest city. In this site, architecture aficionado and professor of electrical engineering Steven Reyer has indexed photographs and descriptions of a few hundred buildings in Milwaukee. They are sorted by decade, alphabetically, and, in the Learn More section, by architect. To provide context, a few panoramic views are also included. Mr. Reyer also describes some of the city's fine architectural details, such as the cream-colored brick commonly used in older buildings, and the ornate streetlights that are slowly making a comeback. And as if that weren't enough, two walking tour maps are also provided in .pdf format.
