Northwestern Mutual Building ( grey ) 720 E. Wisconsin Ave. Built: 1914 One of America's largest insurance companies, Northwestern Mutual has occupied several downtown locations over its lifetime. Prior to this site, it was at 611 N. Broadway. Thousands of tons of steel and granite are supported by 6000 wooden pilings, set into the swampy land underneath. Newer skyscrapers complete the complex.


Milwaukee Gas Light Building (Wisconsin Gas Building) ( red ) 626 E. Wisconsin Ave. Built: 1930Originally called the Milwaukee Gas Light Co., "MGL" can be seen in the metal spandrels on the building. The setbacks at upper floor levels make this a classic Art Deco design. Eschweiler & Eschweiler chose to use lighter brick colors at upper levels, making the building appear taller and "sunnier." The first 2.5 stories are faced in granite. The lighted "weather flame" is used to indicate weather predictions; GOLD: Cold, RED: Warm weather ahead, BLUE: No change in view. Flashing means precipitation is anticipated.
