Buildings we'd like to see in Doors Open Milwaukee
The focus of Doors Open Milwaukee (DOM) will be on downtown Milwaukee and some of its adjacent areas including the Historic Third Ward and Yankee Hill. On that last weekend of September of next year HMI hopes to open up to a hundred buildings providing backstage access to areas of buildings usually not accessible to the public. Here's a list of buildings we're trying to include.
