Abandoned Milwaukee Mall storefront with faded signage on a brick building in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
The Milwaukee Mall sign still hangs on a vacant storefront in Milwaukee, its painted hours for Monday through Saturday and the fifth Sunday of the month barely legible. Weeds now grow through the cracked pavement and curb in front of the closed, barred entrance.

The abandoned Milwaukee Mall building in Wisconsin stands vacant with boarded windows and overgrown pavement.
Milwaukee Mall is a shuttered shopping building in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, its old signage still reading "Milwaukee Mall" and "Biggest Mall" above the empty storefronts. The parking lot sits cracked and overgrown with weeds, and the property is fenced off from the street.

Milwaukee Mall Sits Vacant Behind a Chain Link Fence

Boarded entrance to Milwaukee Mall at 2100 W.
The Milwaukee Mall sits at 2100 West North Avenue on Milwaukee's north side. Faded lettering above the entrance once listed tenants selling CDs, cell phones, pagers, shoes, sportswear, and jewelry, the kind of mix typical of a small indoor retail arcade rather than a large shopping center. The entrance is now gated shut, with weeds growing through the sidewalk in front of it.

Boarded Storefronts at the Milwaukee Mall on North Avenue

Vacant Milwaukee Mall building with boarded storefronts and neighboring church steeple on North Avenue.
Milwaukee Mall sits empty along West North Avenue, its ground-floor bays fronted by metal security grates and faded signs once advertising phone cards, jewelry, and clothing. The building operated for years as a discount retail arcade before closing, leaving its upper-floor windows broken out or boarded over. Nearby stands a church spire with a working clock, part of the older commercial corridor that once anchored this stretch of North Avenue.
