Built in 1928, this Art Deco-style skyscraper was built to house the offices of the Wisconsin Power and Light Company. The building is clad in limestone with a classically-inspired tripartite composition. The two-story base of the building is relatively plain with limestone panel cladding, large storefront windows on the first floor, a front entrance with a large decorative transom and a canopy over the sidewalk, smaller one-over-one windows on the second floor, with the top of the base being demarcated by a band of extruded belt coursing at the base of the sills of the third-floor windows, with greek key motif on several portions. Above the base is the shaft of the building’s exterior composition, which features one-over-one windows with the middle bays in groups of three and four featuring decorative recessed spandrel panels featuring depictions of electrical generators, a unique choice and a nod to the building’s original tenant. The spandrel panels end at the base of the ninth floor windows, with the tenth floor windows being detached, forming part of the capital of the composition, with a band of extruded belt coursing around the base of the parapet, with volutes and stepped parapets enclosing the low-slope roof, and carved relief panels. The building has since become known as the Hovde Building, and houses several commercial office tenants.
Built in 1958-1959, this Modern International-style building was designed by Eschweiler and Eschweiler for the city of Milwaukee to serve as a municipal office building, supplementing Milwaukee City Hall. The building is clad in stone panels and curtain walls with opaque spandrels, ribbon windows, and projected aluminum ribs, a barrel vaulted roof on the first floor of the west end of the building, and podiums on the north and south sides of the building. The building today houses various departments of the Milwaukee city government.

This night we were on our way home from a friend's farm, and I stopped to grab a few pics.
I am going to a funeral there tomorrow 10/25/10, so thought I would try to see what it was like then, and tomorrow, now.
