There is nothing particularly interesting about this apartment building, except that I lived here for two years. Also, it is an old building, built in 1894.  Presumably it was a high-class building when it was new, with balconies, tall ceilings, lots of woodwork and even a skylight in the stairway. It has seen better days however, most likely due to it mainly being a temporary home to college students from the nearby Milwaukee School of Engineering, and also due to the fact that the owners simply don’t seem to care about maintaining it.
