Overview

Historic Third Ward Creative Loft

Located in the heart of Milwaukee’s Historic Third Ward, 217 Broadway is a beautifully preserved relic of the great American industrial age. The building, a former coffee roasting mill commissioned by Wm. Rohnert in 1912, is included in the National Register of Historic Buildings. The 3,241 square foot loft space features tangible evidence of its productive past, carefully curated and remaining on the premises, adding character to the light-filled space. The building contains remnants of a building-wide network of machinery, including cast iron machines made specifically for coffee roasting by Josiah Burns & Sons Machine Foundry in central New York City in 1885. Interconnected between the upper two floors are three coffee roasters, coffee bean storage hoppers, cup electors, and drop chutes mechanically linking the operations between floors. The Historic Third Ward is Milwaukee’s leading creative hub and is home to galleries, offices in 19th-century warehouses, performing arts venues like the Broadway Theater Center, and the campus of the Milwaukee Institute of Art & Design. The neighborhood features upscale yet approachable restaurants and popular sidewalk dining.
