Ward have been redeveloped into residential, commercial or retail uses.

Historic District In 1984 a cluster of the Third's historic warehouses and industrial buildings built from 1892 to 1928 was designated a NRHP historic district. It is bounded by the Milwaukee River, I-94, and some modern warehouses and parking lots to the east. Here are some contributing structures: The Wirth, Hammel & Co. Sales stable at 167 N. Broadway is a 2-story cream brick horse stable designed by Henry C. Koch and built in 1892 on the site of the same company's previous stable, which had burned in the fire. The stable sold draft, saddle and carriage horses, and sold horses to logging operations in the fall - claiming to be the largest sales stables in the U.S. The basement and first floor could handle 150 horses at a time and the second floor provided sleeping quarters for men and storage. By the 1920s the business was called M.D. Newald's Sons & Co. and was transitioning to auto sales and service. The Milwaukee Fire Department Engine Company #10 at 176 N. Broadway is a 3-story red brick structure with a cast iron cornice, designed by Sebastian Brand in Queen Anne style and built in 1893 to replace the earlier fire station, which was destroyed by the fire of 1892. The National Distilling Co. at 221 E. Buffalo Ave. is a 4-story office building designed by Crane & Barkhausen in Romanesque Revival style and built in 1893. This building was probably offices, showrooms and storage for the firm which had a distillery in the Menomonee Valley. During Prohibition the name changed to Red Star Yeast and the company produced industrial alcohol, vinegar and yeast. M.A. Lichter Co. bought the building in 1963, for offices, and assembling and showing drapes. Wellauer & Hoffman Co. at 232 N. Broadway is a 6-story structure designed by Henry C. Koch & Co. in Romanesque Revival style and built in 1893–94. Wellauer & Hoffman were wholesale grocers, coffee roasters, and specialty jobbers. By 1908 David Adler & Sons Co. was manufacturing men's clothes in the building. By 1932 the first two floors housed a furniture showroom and
