"The Mitchell Building is Milwaukee's finest example of a high style, French Second Empire Style commercial building. A five-story rectangular edifice, the lower walls are faced with deep gray Minnesota granite and the upper walls with limestone. A mansard roof with dormers encloses the fifth story. A mansard roof tower rises above the center of the Michigan Street façade. The facades are elaborately decorated with carved stone window pediments, denticulated belt courses and sculptured figures. Eminent Milwaukee architect Edward Townsend Mix designed the building for entrepreneur and businessman, Alexander Mitchell. This building housed Mitchell's business enterprises including the Wisconsin Marine and Fire Insurance Company Bank; predecessor of today's Marine National Bank, the Northwestern National Insurance Company and the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul Railroad. Only traces of the original interiors remain, but the exterior has been little altered (NRHP-04/03/73)"
