Getting High in Wisconsin - Part IV

Originally known as the First Wisconsin Center, the US Bank Center in Milwaukee is Wisconsin's tallest building, at 601 feet and 42 stories.

During a citywide event called Doors Open Milwaukee on September 24, 2011, the US Bank Center allowed visitors to view the landscape from the building's observation deck, which has only rarely been opened to the public since the building was constructed in the early 1970s.

Landmarks visible from the observation deck (and in this video) include the Milwaukee City Hall (which was Wisconsin's tallest building until 1973), Miller Park, the Mitchell Park Domes, Summerfest grounds, the Allen-Bradley clock tower (featuring the world's largest 4-faced clock), McKinley Marina, Old St. Mary's Church, Basilica of St. Josaphat, and St. Stanislaus Church.

Many other buildings can be seen in the video; feel free to identify them in the comments section, below.
