From the Betty Brinn Children’s Museum, we’ll head north one block on Prospect Avenue, east again on Mason Street for a very short block, and ahead of us will be the Milwaukee County War Memorial Center. A product of the WWII years, the War Memorial was designed by Finnish architect Eero Saarinen, whose most well-known work is the St. Louis Arch. Now considered a classic in the development of modern architecture, the War Memorial remains a popular spot for weddings, corporate functions and other private events.
