One of the important landmarks that you should see in Milwaukee, Wisconsin is the Allen-Bradley Clock Tower. A four-sided clock tower similar to the Big Ben, the Allen-Bradley Clock Tower has four faces that are almost twice that of the Big Ben’s. The Polish Moon, as the tower is nicknamed, does not have the chime so as not to steal all the glory from the Big Ben. For statistics, the Allen-Bradley Clock Tower has 4-meter long hour hands, 6-meter long minute hands and 1-meter high hour markings. Through the years, the huge clock has served as a makeshift lighthouse for mariners plying the Lake Michigan.

Another must see attraction in Milwaukee is the Charles Allis Museum. This circa 1911 Tudor-style house was designed by known Milwaukee architect Alexander Eschweiler and intended as museum. This house is home to the collections of Charles and Sarah Allis. This collection comprises of paintings done by American and French artists during the 19th century, and among them are the originals themselves. It is a house rich with history and not just paintings, as among the collections are Queen Anne-style table and chairs made of mahogany. There is also a 1900 Steinway piano and a pair of Louis XIV chairs, among others. The museum is open from Wednesday until Sunday and costs US$5 to enter.

This attraction is for those that are interested in either architecture or religion, or even both. If you are one of those, you should check out the Annunciation Greek Orthodox Church.
