Description: The former Chamber of Commerce in downtown Milwaukee, Wisconsin, also known as the Produce or Grain Exchange, built in 1879, was for a time the world's largest wheat exchange and is now a private commercial building. Designed by E. Townsend Mix as a fireproof building in an eclectic style that combined an Italian Renaissance interior with an exterior variously described as Modern Italian or typical of Glasgow or Edinburgh, it has a basement level covered with Minnesota granite, higher masonry of Ohio sandstone, and Cream City brick. Its clock tower rises to a height of 175 feet.
