Pabst Building in Milwaukee

Context

"The Pabst Building was a 14-story neo-gothic high-rise building in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Built in 1891, it was Milwaukee's first skyscraper, and was the tallest building in Milwaukee until the Milwaukee City Hall was finished four years later. The Pabst Building was demolished in 1981 and the 100 East Wisconsin Building now occupies its site. Having stood at 235-foot (72 m) tall, the Pabst Building is the 2nd tallest building ever demolished in Wisconsin" (Wikipedia).
