Website News -March 16th, 2008


As you can see, the main page has added some content. I have placed a link to my Flickr page on the left. I have also placed direct links to some great online reference documents on Milwaukee history. Do your research from home instead of going down to the Historical Society. Other pages are being developed and we hope to have searchable access to the downtown historic building database soon.

Bird's Eye View
Here is another aerial view from the 1886 Saengerfest book. This is a view looking west at the Exposition Center located between Fifth, Sixth, Cedar(Kilbourn), and State Street. Other buildings shown are the Panorama Painting building and the Liederkranz Hall which was one of the popular German societies.
Velvet Chair Menu
This is from a book that I picked up at the All Saints Book Sale last week. It is a book of menus from Milwaukee area restaurants from way back in 1977. Quite a few restaurants like Maders and Pieces of Eight still exist but others like this are long gone. The prices are long gone too.
