University Of Milwaukee – Johnston Hall

This is a really neat-​o bulding, with some fun features. It’s got gargoyles guarding the roof, male and female faces staring from the same, and two interesting staircases within it, one grand one with nice, quiet landings with benches, and another which makes you feel like you’re in a lighthouse.
The heads on the roof are said to have been put there by the architect as a curse upon two people he despised, so that it could rain and snow on their likenesses forever.
It was formerly part of a women’s college, the «Milwaukee-​Downer College campus purchase. It was called „College Hall“ until 1904 when it was renamed for John T. Johnston, a member of the Milwaukee College and the MIlwaukee-​Downer College Board of Trustees from 1874 to 1904 and the Board’s President from 1893 to 1897, and 1902 to 1904.»
