Federal Building and U.S. Courthouse, Milwaukee
517 E. Wisconsin Avenue
Milwaukee, WI 53202
Representing one of the final stanchions of Romanesque Revival architecture in the Midwest, the Milwaukee Federal Building and U.S. Courthouse currently houses both a U.S. District and U.S. Bankruptcy court and remains an exquisite example of Richardsonian Style. It was designated as an Energy Star® building in 2000.
The latest Customer Satisfaction Survey, administered in spring 2006, indicated that 88% of the tenants are "very satisfied" with both the Milwaukee U.S. Courthouse and GSA services.
