The National Block Building /
Milwaukee, WI

Located in the Historic Walker’s Point District, at the intersection of National Avenue and 5th Street, National Block is a 130-year-old building historically used as a rooming house. The building was condemned by the City of Milwaukee and a raze order was issued, due to heavily deteriorated conditions. Interest in the neighborhood and the vision to maintain the historic and eclectic quality of Walker’s Point inspired our client to renovate this derelict building. The mixed-use building includes event space on the first level and a total of 12 market-rate residential units on the three floors above.

Event space features historical decorative wood ceilings and large expanses of the original storefront. Each residential unit is unique in layout and remains rooted in history through historical features such as wood floors, windows, and decorative corridors. A portion of the roof was converted into a roof deck with expansive views of the city.
