A piece of Milwaukee’s industrial past came crashing down today. A large section of the old National Warehouse Corp. building near S. Water and E. Bruce streets partially collapsed around midday. The Milwaukee Fire Department responded, and officials said no injuries were reported. The affected warehouse section was vacant, while people in an adjoining portion of the building were evacuated as a precaution. Built around 1910 for the American Malting Co., the massive Cream City brick structure has stood along the Milwaukee River for more than a century. These aerial views show the extent of today’s collapse—and a building whose future now appears very uncertain. 📷 Aaron Johnson
