Summary:"Milwaukee's City Hall is a landmark.. Battles over designs and the bidding process became heated and personal. Cost overruns in the construction, although common at the time, grew to gigantic proportions. Still standing 115 years later, it really is a monument to the Milwaukee government officials, architect and builder, all of whom are the costars of this book"--
