Public Library & Museum, 814 West Wisconsin Ave Milwaukee, Milwaukee County, WI
This stately Neo-Renaissance building was designed by the prominent Milwaukee architectural firm of Ferry and Clas, winners of a national competition for its design. Designated a Milwaukee Landmark in 1969, this building was conceived in the architectural climate created by the 1893 Columbian Exposition in Chicago. Still serving as the county`s central library, the building remains one of Milwaukee`s most monumental public structures.
