The Wisconsin Tower, or 606 Building, is a 22-story, 280-foot-tall (85 m) art-deco high-rise building in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. It was completed in 1930, and was the second tallest building in Milwaukee at the time of its completion. It would be surpassed by the Chase Tower in 1961. Originally the building was an office tower, but it was purchased and redeveloped into 74 condominiums in 2005. The renovation was completed the following year. The tower is located at 606 West Wisconsin Avenue.[1]
