Water Street, Milwaukee

Water Street is a prominent historic street and an entertainment district in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. It is the site of the city's original building, City Hall, and multiple historic landmarks. Today it is still the major North/South road running through downtown and is home to Milwaukee's Theater District, Water Street Entertainment District, and much of the city's political activity.
==History and Historic Buildings==
The intersection of E. Wisconsin Ave. and N. Water St. is the original building site in the city. What is now the 100 East Wisconsin building was once the site where Henry Vieau, Milwaukee's first white settler, built his cabin in the early 1800s.〔Fran Bauer ("New Tower Described as Landmark" ), The Milwaukee Journal, January 21, 1987〕 Solomon Juneau, the city's founder, eventually took over Vieau's cabin, which started the development of Water Street as a place for commerce, accelerated by its proximity to the Milwaukee River. Even today, that original construction site is a critical central gathering place in the city, as demonstrated by participants in the Occupy Milwaukee protests on October 15, 2011.〔Dan Shafer, ("Thousands Gather Saturday to Occupy Milwaukee" ), Third Coast Digest, October 16, 2011〕 This was a gathering place for protesters because several major banks, including Chase, Associated, and Wells Fargo, all have branches at the intersection of W. Michigan Street and N. Water Street. In addition, the Marshall & Ilsley bank headquarters is several blocks north on Water Street.〔Kaellen Hessel, ("Occupy Prostests Come to Milwaukee" ), The Business Journal, October 15, 2011〕
In 1860, the city's first horse-drawn streetcar was operated by the River and Lakeshore City Railway Company, and the original route ran down Water Street.〔("Transit in Milwaukee - History" )〕 The street is home to Milwaukee City Hall, which was one of the tallest buildings in the world when is was completed in 1895〔("Milwaukee City Hall" ), Emporis〕 and was declared a National Historic Landmark in 2005.〔("A Brief History of Milwaukee and City Hall" ), City of Milwaukee〕
Built in 1895, the Pabst Theater on Water Street has been designated a National Historic Landmark, and it is the fourth-oldest continuously operating theater in the United States.〔("Pabst Theater" ), National Historic Landmarks Program〕
