Description
Historical Mitchell Building. The Mitchell Buidling was erected in 1876 for Alexander Mitchell, a Milwaukee banker. Mitchell, with George Smith, founded the Wisconsin Marine and Fire Insurance Company. This company was reincorporated in 1846 under the new State Banking law as a Marine National Bank.
The site is presumed to have been the location of the residence of Solomon Juneau, the trader who founded Milwaukee about the 1830's, and then served as its first mayor. The Mitchell building is located on the corns of Michigan Ave, and Water Street.
