Milwaukee City Hall

A Flemish Renaissance-style city hall completed in 1895, whose clock tower was once among the tallest buildings in the United States.

Milwaukee City Hall was completed in 1895. Its triangular footprint rises into a masonry clock tower about 108 meters tall, which for a time made it the tallest building in the United States. The style reflects the influence of German immigrants of the period. Inside, an eight-story atrium with ironwork can be viewed on weekdays. The building sits in the downtown theater district beside the Riverwalk, one block from the Bronze Fonz, so it is an easy detour when you are passing by.
