Monday Milwaukee Mystery

Today we are back with the Monday Mysteries after some time spent doing much needed website maintenance.

This mystery photo has some clues as to the location in the picture. I will leave it to you to decipher. The building on which the sculpture is located lies in the area of downtown west of the river. I’ll wait to see if anyone can guess it before giving out more clues.

This near south-side building in the Fifth ward was built in 1899 as the picture shows with this fancy stone scrollwork above the entrance. This design does not have a face but it is distinctive enough that some of you may have noticed it. This is on a major thoroughfare and an extra clue will be the last few symbols in this paragraph. Where is this building located ??????
