the conroy building, located at 725-729 north milwaukee avenue, milwaukee, wisc, was built in 1881 by noted victorian architect edward t. mix & company. the distinctive 4-story queen anne style commercial building was occupied by james conroy's confectionery and catering business.
the commercial building's facade is notable for its use of early terra cotta ornament. i have a suspicion that the building's heavily ornamented date plaque is comprised of "gray body" terra cotta.
