Metal Inspiration

      Coming home to Milwaukee WI is always a welcoming experience full of anticipation and that good feeling you have when you are home. On my latest journey home I was walking down Wisconsin Ave. from the bus stop and found some iron work inspiration around the Northern Trust Bank. This building was built in 1906 and designed by architect David Uihlein Jr. who's grandfather was the co-founder of Allen- Bradley company, the name brand of Rockwell Automation. Uihlein's father David Sr. was the heir to Schlitz Brewing Co. once the largest producer of beer in the world. There is so much history to discover all around, all you have to do is take a closer look. Other Milwaukee inspirations include Milwaukee War Memorial Center, Milwaukee Art Museum, Discovery World, the Neptune Gate at Villa Terrace Decorative Arts Museum, and local ironwork on a neighborhood historic home. I can not wait until my next adventure around Milwaukee.
