Spaces And Traces 2010
Brewer’s Hill & the Beerline
Saturday May 15th, 2010 from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
Join HMI for our 29th Annual Spaces & Traces Open House Tour this year held in Brewers Hill & the Beerline, among the city’s oldest residential neighborhoods. Originally surrounded by both commercial and industrial concerns, the area developed such that business owners and laborers lived side by side. This resulted in an interesting mixture of modest worker’s cottages and duplexes interspersed among the more grand, high-style Greek Revival, Italianate and Queen Anne homes. Our tour will take us through a similar cross section of styles and forms—many of which have been recently rehabilitated. In addition to ten homes, other tour-day sites include a former warehouse/factory, an 1877 church, as well as the Schlitz Brewery Complex. As always, Milwaukee’s premier historian John Gurda will augment the day-long event.
