Old World Third Street Historic District
Old World Third Street Historic District, German heritage district in downtown Milwaukee, United States.
The district stretches along North Old World Third Street, featuring Victorian commercial buildings constructed with cream-colored brick and decorative stonework.
Listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987, this area represents the last remaining section of Milwaukee's original German retail district from 1855.
The district maintains German traditions through restaurants, specialty food stores, and retail establishments that reflect Milwaukee's European immigration history.
Located near major sporting venues and theaters, the area contains multiple dining options, bars, hotels, and the Third Street Market Hall.
The Pritzlaff Hardware Company building, constructed in 1861, displays cream brick Italianate architecture with a fourth floor added in 1890.
