Milwaukee Cold Storage Co. Building
Milwaukee Cold Storage Co. Building is an 1892 building which was once the location for the Milwaukee Cold Storage Company. At the time of construction it was billed as the largest cold storage house in Wisconsin. It is an historic building constructed in the style of Romanesque Revival architecture and it is located in the Walker's Point Historic District of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. To retain the cold air, the five-story building has walls which are two feet thick and there are not many windows. The building was originally cooled with ice that was taken from the nearby river. After 1910 the building was cooled with a mechanical refrigeration system. In 2019 the building was sold to a Milwaukee developer. The developer plans to restore the building for new uses.
