==History==
The building was originally called the Chamber of Commerce Building.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Mackie Building - Milwaukee, WI )〕 It was built as an investment property by U.S. Representative Alexander Mitchell. During the 1980s, the building underwent extensive restorations.
The Grain Exchange was located in a large three-story room in the building. The room was designed in a Simple Italian architectural style, with soaring ceilings, hand painted frescoes, gold leaf and over 10,000 sq. feet of space. The grain exchange is closely linked with the early commercial history of Milwaukee, when for a brief time, the city was the world’s largest primary wheat market for trading, exporting and inspecting grain. Milwaukee’s lake port was near vast acres of wheat in the state, so the Milwaukee grain exchange conveniently located there and invented and utilized the very first octagonal trading pit. The grain exchange operated from 1880 to 1935.〔( "The Glory of the Grain Exchange," by Sarah Biondich, Mar. 30, 2010 )〕
The Mackie Building is adjacent to the Mitchell Building, which was also built by Alexander Mitchell, also designed by E. Townsend Mix and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
