Built in 1912, this is a typical example of the low-rise, red brick apartment buildings ubiquitous on Milwaukee's East Side. Most are three or four stories tall, with neo-gothic elements around doorways and windows. This architectural style is often referred to as College Gothic because of its prevalence on North American university campuses. Interiors are generally well-maintained and have high ceilings, hardwood floors, and built-in cabinets and shelving.
These are good pictures. Haven't been to Milwaukee yet, but glad to know I can experience it vicariously through this blog. I look forward to seeing more.

Interesting to look at different cities in light of subtle differences in everyday architecture -- apartment buildings of that era being one of my favorites. Look forward to more as well. --AC
