Situated on the western edge of Milwaukee’s Walker’s Point neighborhood, near Mexican restaurants and auto shops, the office building at 1223 W. National Ave. doesn’t look all that historic, but it’s been part of the working-class neighborhood for more than 100 years.Â
The three-story, red brick building was long home to Hetrick Printing, according to the Wisconsin Historical Society. It was constructed in 1918. At some point, large steel panels were added to the front of the building that obscure much of the upper façade.
Hetrick Printing sold the structure to its current occupant, One Source Staffing Inc., in 1999. The staffing agency primarily places workers in general labor, manufacturing, assembly and light industrial jobs.Â
