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.

The Milwaukee Mall is a shuttered commercial building at 2100 West North Avenue in Milwaukee. Hand painted signs for CDs, phones, and tattoos cover its boarded storefronts, and old lettering above the entrance still lists former tenants like a shoe shop and a pager and cell phone dealer.

Boarded Storefronts at the Milwaukee Mall on North Avenue

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.

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.
