Architecture in Milwaukee

[HistoricMilwaukeeInc]

Tweet

On the weekend of September 22nd & 23rd, 2012, Doors Open Milwaukee will open the doors to scores of wonderful buildings free-of-charge to the public buildings that hold hidden treasures and special stories – from churches to office buildings, theaters to work sites, museums to hotels, clubs to universities; all sites of historic, architectural, cultural, or commercial interest.
The event has two major components: 1) you design your own itinerary to visit nearly 100 buildings that will open their doors often with guided tours (no tickets necessary); 2) over two dozen in-depth tours that are ticketed but still free (find details under “Event Guide – In-Depth Tours” section of our website.)

Saw the Frank Lloyd Wright House, attempted to see the Allen Bradley center but there was an hour wait. Went to the top of the US Bank building, Federal Building, Art Museum, Phister, Iron Horse Hotel, Clock Shadow building and the Great Lakes Distillery.
I missed Sunday completely because I was couch sitting, lol.

It was fun and pretty well put together. Some places had a small wait but most didn't. The Wright house was small so they could only bring in small groups at a time. The only tour that seemed to drag on was the one at the Art Museum. We actually left midway through because it was too time consuming.
