Summary
| Description |
English: The Mitchell Building (1876) and the Mackie Building (1879) in downtown Milwaukee, Wisconsin, were both designed by E. Townsend Mix. The Mitchell Building at 207 E. Michigan Street was built for the millionaire Scottish immigrant, entrepreneur, and politician Alexander Mitchell. Designed in the French Second Empire style and constructed of gray sandstone at a total cost of $400,000, this building stood at the hub of downtown Milwaukee and still functions today as a commercial center. The Mackie Building is the former Chamber of Commerce and is now a private commercial building. Also known as the Produce or Grain Exchange, it was for a time the world's largest wheat exchange. Designed as a fireproof building in an eclectic style that combined an Italian Renaissance interior with an exterior variously described as Modern Italian or typical of Glasgow or Edinburgh, it has a basement level covered with Minnesota granite, higher masonry of Ohio sandstone, and Cream City brick. It has a clock tower with a height of 175 feet, 35 feet taller than its neighbor. |
