Upon completion, Milwaukee's City Hall was the third-tallest building in the world. It opened in in 1898 at a 'soaring' 350 feet. It's fifteen minutes of fame came in the 1970's, when it was featured in the opening credits of Lavergne & Shirley, a popular US Sitcom. For those who remember the show, the "Welcome to Milwaukee" sign has been removed, but City Hall still serves as a major point of interest downtown.

Ain't she purdy??

8 1/2! i like it a lot, it is nice to have a historic city hall that is tall enough to make an impression on the skyline.

350 feet = about 100 meters, more or less.

8.5/10 Though it does not approach the greatness of Buffalo's city hall... this is a great imposing structure with a beautiful tower.

I f you want Buffalos` city hall given attention then give it it`s own thread instead of mentioning it out of the blue! make your own thread!

If you think Buffalo has the best city hall then have people vote on it like we`re doing with Milwuakee`s with there own thread?
