It was designed as a six story structure, but only four stories were built with the plan to add the additional stories when needed; this addition has never been implemented. Each of the 76 Solarbronze plate glass windows by PPG Industries stands 11 feet high and measures nearly seven feet at its widest point. |
| Named For | Named for Rev. Stanislaus P. Lalumiere, S.J., the founding father of Marquette University. Lalumiere came to Milwaukee at the request of Bishop Henni, and under his direction property was purchased in 1861 at 10th and State Streets for the purpose of building Marquette College. Father Lalumiere was named president of Marquette in 1881, serving for only one year due to bad health. |
