THE LITTLE RED STORE

7720 HARWOOD AVE.

Wauwatosa's earliest commerce and  architecture are vital aspects of its historical character. The Little Red Store is an important  survivor from Wauwatosa's earliest history, having served throughout the years as a dwelling, the oldest remaining post office building in Milwaukee County,  a railroad station, general store, library, a place for political groups, harness shop, grocery, and plumbing shop. Many of the trades the building sheltered are things of the past that deserve to be commemorated for their contributions  to the development of  Wauwatosa.
