Property Features
Since its completion in 1918, the Marine Terminal Building has provided numerous businesses with manufacturing, warehouse, dock, and office facilities, along the Milwaukee River. A promotional brochure from the 1930s emphasized the structure's spaciousness, three freight elevators, the heavy load capacity of its floors, its fireproof construction and its location near downtown and the expressway, facilitating goods distribution. The terminal's position directly east of the Broadway Street bridge allows access to and from Lake Michigan with the opening of only one swing bridge.
