An architectural EKG on the East Side of Milwaukee, Wisconsin.  I walk past this building on the way to the library from my home at least once a week. Yet in all that time, I don’t think I’ve ever noticed the angles of the roofline.  And that just proves that you can still find very interesting…… Continue reading Architectural EKG
