In a surprise shift, the state is moving the preferred site of the proposed $120 million, 100,000-square-foot Wisconsin Historical Society museum from the top of State Street to a full block that now features a massive, half-century-old state office building near Capitol Square.

The new site, which holds the four-story, 271,493-square-foot General Executive Facility, or GEF 1, is bounded by the 200 blocks of East Washington Avenue and East Main Street, and 10 blocks of South Butler and Webster streets.
GEF 1, which would be demolished, built in 1971-72 in the Brutalist style, is widely unloved for its uninspiring design and concrete, windowless first-floor walls that deaden the streetscape on all sides. It currently houses the state departments of Children and Families and Workforce Development and a parking garage.
