I think this is my favorite one thus far, followed closely by Nashville's. Memphis's gets an honorable mention for excellent use of statuary. This building is reserved, yet majestic, without being boring. That's the flaw that keeps Chicago's courthouse from really making an impact -- it's big and imposing, but a bit too dull. This courthouse in Milwaukee is what theirs should have been.
