Pabst Building, Historic skyscraper in downtown Milwaukee, United States.
The fourteen-story brown brick building featured terra cotta ornaments, a granite arch entrance, and four large clock faces on its copper-topped tower.
Built in 1891 on the site of Solomon Juneau's original trading post, this 235-foot structure remained Milwaukee's tallest building until the City Hall completion.
The headquarters of Frederick Pabst represented the success of Milwaukee's brewing industry and the architectural advancement of the growing Midwestern city.
Three elevators served the commercial offices within this high-rise building, which stood at the intersection of Water Street and Wisconsin Avenue.
The building's demolition in 1981 influenced the design of its replacement, 100 East Wisconsin, which incorporates similar arches and crown elements.
