Survey of Milwaukee's Historic Industrial Buildings
The purpose of this 2016 survey was to document Milwaukee’s Industrial Heritage as a means to encourage the rehabilitation of historic industrial buildings in the city. These findings help to streamline the tax credit application process by providing comprehensive information about buildings eligible for the National Register of Historic Places and therefore potentially eligible for tax credits. The report contains a historic overview of the industrial history of Milwaukee and a description of the building types historically associated with Milwaukee manufacturing. The recommendations provide a description and analysis of those properties found to be eligible for the National Register of Historic Places.
