At the Landmark 1850 we have 2 pictures of the Landmark/New Coeln House on display. One from around 1912 to 1916 and one from 1904. If anyone knows of any others in existence that we could get a copy of we'd appreciate it. Thanks.

Mr. Harry... Please get a better microphone.

Thank you for this awesome video! The Pabst Mansion is a Milwaukee treasure.

The history of these buildings, architects and builders makes no sense at all. The electric drill was invented in 1895. How are they building these castles, with horses and wagons? ALL handmade? Where did all these craftsman come from? Clearly these buildings where there much longer than the story leads one to believe. Then they have to tear it all down and put up a taco bell. We see this all over the world.

I’m 3rd generation German immigrant my grandfather came to WI after the end of the Second World War

The quote about the gold and silver is interesting because in my family there was always this story about how when our family came over from Germany they took all their money in gold and sliver but, that it was lost at sea. I have no idea if that's true but, interesting

Who want some chocolate? Ja…

I was 3 when my family lived and worked on the farm. My Dad helped show the cattle across the Midwest for them. It was the start of a wonderful way of life.

I can’t believe they distroyed all those beautiful mansons and built all those ugly buildings we have there now.Milwaukee at one time was a beautiful city and now looks like crap, at least we still have some beautiful homes on Lake Dr and close to the lake on the East side.

Nice job on this Bonnie!

Love it!!

great documentary thank you for this program.

they do every ethnic groups under the sun.

theyshould have kept the old world 3rd street name. no disrespect for the preacher man, but the germans were here before the latter was.

As a Midwest German-American, I love this. My people, on both sides were actually immigrants on the East Coast, who moved away from Pennsylvania and New York, to Iowa and Oklahoma. This is great stuff. danke schon for all your research and work to make this.

This is a great presentation. Glad we have the Pabst Mansion and WI Club still around since the maintenance costs on these homes is extraordinary. I love WI Avenue in it's contemporary form- it's a fascinating street with structures that span 150 years!

Interesting choice of music?

By the 1960's Milwaukee had lost its status and physical identity created by prior 1900 wealth and social culture. The city has lost a majority of its early 1900's historical character today becoming another "wannabe" metro hub. Also, Marquette U deserves responsibility for Milwaukee's current negative/neutral physical presence, putting its own agenda before that of the city itself by its ruthless expansion to the west. Too bad Milwaukee has to "fast forward" to the 2000's to claim any architecture creativity of merit.

I worked for the company that rebuilt both front porches in historically correct fashion on judge jason downers home. The current owner gave me a tour and it is a beautiful home.

This is absolutely fascinating! We just moved downtown. I went to MUHS and MU so I am fascinated by the history of WI Ave. I attending one of your presentations a few years ago. Thank you for your work on this!!!

My great grandfather was sylvester weiler, manger of the farm in the 1950's.
