Inspired by the urban street photography featured in "Street Seen: The Psychological Gesture in American Photography 1940-1959" at the Milwaukee Art Museum, I will share a snapshot of a Milwaukee landmark each day for the 10 days leading up to "MAM After Dark"on March 12.

Yesterday’s photo: City Hall

It was architect Henry C. Koch's vision that resulted in the design and construction of Milwaukee's City Hall in 1895. Following the German Renaissance Revival style, the building features "Flemish" gables with curved consoles, fractables, slim
piers rising to finials and sculptural ornament. City Hall and several surrounding buildings make up the greatest concentration of this type of architecture in the country.

City Hall underwent two years of renovation including a rebuild of the bell tower and brick lay work. The building was named to the National Register of Historic Places in 1979 and declared a National Historic Landmark in 2005.
