The Kneeland-Walker House, recognized as one of the premiere historic properties in Wauwatosa is in need of a new roof. Despite our prudent, ongoing capital financial planning, we find it necessary to make an appeal for assistance in obtaining the substantial funds a project of this scope requires. 

Research Library Compromised 

After discovering dampness and water stains in the ceiling areas of our Research Library, we decided to protect all of our research and archival materials by moving them to different areas of the House, temporarily closing the Research Library to the public. 

Contractor Selected 

Work is currently underway by our contractor, FJA Christiansen Roofing Co., and will be completed by the start of the Firefly Art Fair in August. FJA Christiansen will provide the Kneeland-Walker House and Coach House with a historically accurate, well-executed new cedar roof that will last for many years to come. 

Project Costs 

The total cost of this project is $145,000.  We currently have $82,000 allocated for the work and need to raise the remaining $63,000  

Please consider donating as generously as possible, today, to help us continue to make the Kneeland-Walker House and Gardens the model of preservation it has long been to the Wauwatosa community.
