    Address of the original Lee Arms, Milwaukee WI

    This weekend I was shown a civil war era Lee breech loading carbine. It had Milwaukee, WI listed as the address. I was aware that Lee had immigrated to the US and settled in WI for a short time, and opened a factory. I had little interest in learning more, until I encountered one of the carbines.
    I frequently visit Milwaukee for business, and I'm fairly familiar with the city. I'm wondering if anyone knows the original address of the factory or the modern address of the original building. I'd like to drive by and see if the building is still standing. I'll see if the historical society has any publicly available records as well.
