About Razed

Inspired by buildings lost in Milwaukee’s past, RazedinMilwaukee aims to create a bridge between enthusiasm and the desire to preserve our built environment.

As architecture narrates the story of the people it harbors and the city it inhabits, Milwaukee’s architecture stands as a visual account of its formation, its history and its spirit.
