Where can I park?
Parking can be tough and intimidating, but don't let it stop you from experiencing The Ward - I made this PDF to help!
The Third Ward offers ample metered street parking. There are also two parking structures in the area, both walking distance to the Marshall Building: the closest is on the corner of Water and Chicago Streets, with the entrance on Chicago Street. The second is on the corner of Milwaukee and Chicago Streets, with the entrance on Milwaukee Street.
If for some reason you're not able to find parking at any of these locations, the Chase Bank parking structure is also an option, which is on the corner of Water and Clybourn Streets, and the Italian Community Center (ICC) that offers daily parking and is located on Jackson Street – just south of Chicago Street.
If you have any additional questions regarding your visit to the Marshall Building, please don't hesitate to contact the building at 414-276-5210.

Thank you for your interest! After a three-year hiatus spent focusing on teaching, I’m thrilled to finally dive back into painting and working with clay.
