The U.S. Federal Building and Courthouse can be seen, with its distinctive pointed granite tower, in the center of the photo. Constructed from 1892-1899 in the Romanesque Revival style, the building at 515-519 E. Wisconsin Ave. is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Today, it houses the U.S. District Court and Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Wisconsin.
