Mitchell Building, Second Empire bank building in Milwaukee, United States
The Mitchell Building exhibits gray Minnesota granite walls, limestone upper sections, and a mansard roof with dormers enclosing the fifth story at 207 E Michigan Avenue.
Built in 1876 by architect E Townsend Mix, the structure housed the Wisconsin Marine and Fire Insurance Company Bank, a predecessor of the Marine National Bank.
The Mitchell Building reflects late 19th-century architectural preferences through its French Second Empire design elements, carved stone window pediments, and sculptured figures.
The five-story building maintains regular business hours from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM and received National Register of Historic Places designation in 1973.
The building features a central tower rising above Michigan Street with intricate stone carvings, denticulated belt courses, and original exterior elements intact since construction.
