A historic building on the grounds of the Milwaukee VA has been vacant since 1989, but soon it will come back to life.
Spectrum News got an inside look at the progress of the building just a month before it opens back up to veterans. It’s a 150-year-old historic building, known as the Soldier’s Home. It was used to house soldiers during the Civil War. It’s a historic landmark that is getting a second lease on life.
