Upper floors were stripped, but the ground level had some interesting artifacts. See pictures. As of 20060315, the building had been split, but construction was still in progress. The west half has the additional two floors as planned and a modern exterior. The east half has a somewhat more traditional brick finish and is under heavier construction. 8/2018 - The property now hold a parking garage with mixed misc. business.  Basic Information Type: Building Status: Repurposed Accessibility: Moderate Recommendation: forget it - it's a parking garage  Physical Information Address 1925 E Kenilworth Pl Milwaukee, Wisconsin United States Owner: University of Wisconsin Milwaukee See a map of this location  Hazards asbestos  Interesting Features A flooded tunnel under the building led to a different part of the building. The substation-scale electrical room with megawatt transformers is probably still there but might be more difficult to access. Upper floors were truly impressive with everything stripped out, but most areas have probably been reframed and subdivided.  Security Measures fences barbed wire  Historical Dates Built: 1914 Closed: 0  Required Equipment long pants / sleeves  Recommended Equipment  History Sources differ on dates and details, but the following should be fairly accurate. The oldest part of the building was built as an assembly plant for Ford Motor Co. in 1914. During WWII, the A.C. Spark Plug Division of General Motors expanded the building and manufactured bomb sights. The U.S. General Services Administration gave the building to UWM as surplus in 1971. UWM remodeled the building for use as a warehouse, parking structure, and research facility. Recently UWM made plans to redevelop the building into commercial space and high class student housing. The original redevelopment proposal was rejected in favor of the current plan to split the building in half.  Media Coverage http://milwaukee.b...story6.html?page=1 http://www.theeast...id_kenilworth.html  Future Plans Redevelopment plans include splitting the building in half and adding two floors to the west half. The east half is to be occupied by UWM's Peck School of the Arts, and the west half by students (not dorm-style student housing) and commercial space. The plans also include parking space.  Stories Add your own story  Photo Galleries 2005-05-13 1 Wed, Nov 23rd, 2005 posted by this_guy 55 pictures 2005-05-09 2 Wed, Nov 23rd, 2005 posted by this_guy 76 pictures 2005-05-09 1 Wed, Nov 23rd, 2005 posted by this_guy 28 pictures centrifuge Wed, Nov 23rd, 2005 posted by this_guy 5 pictures 2005-05-13 3 Thu, Nov 24th, 2005 posted by this_guy 70 pictures 2005-05-13 2 Thu, Nov 24th, 2005 posted by this_guy 75 pictures Add your own photos Mark all galleries as Seen  Web Links http://people.msoe...house/1/index.html http://www.uwm.edu...s/vt-knw-prof.html http://www.city.mi...ter.asp?docid=7283  Contribute Edit this Location  Moderator Rating The moderator rating is a neutral rating of the content quality, photography, and coolness of this location.
