| Additional Information: | Builder: Dahlman Construction Co. One story, concrete block with brick veneer, wide metal canopy extends across 2/3 of front. The first occupant of this building was the Broadway Produce Co., for which the large metal canopy was built. Although this building shares the same history as the other commission houses on the block known for its wholesale produce trade, it is considered non-contributing because it is not 50 years old. Resurveyed for Milwaukee Downtown Connector Arch/History Survey, SHPO#10-0983, Prepared by Heritage Research (2010). |
