SUMMARY:Wandering Wauwatosa: 2025 Tour of Homes
DESCRIPTION:Explore five remarkable properties that showcase different eras and architectural styles in Wauwatosa’s history. Each location offers unique insights into the varied purposes these historic buildings have served throughout our community’s development.  This tour is crafted for adult guests\, with complimentary admission for infants under 1 year.  Please note that the nature of our tour makes it inaccessible to strollers or wagons\, so infants will need to be worn or carried.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTour Properties\n\n\n\nCaptain Henry and Catherine Leisk House\, 2114 Wauwatosa Avenue \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDiscover the elegance of Queen Anne Eastlake architecture in this 1888 masterpiece. Built for Great Lakes mariner Captain Henry Leisk and his wife Catherine\, this ornately detailed home showcases the fine craftsmanship of the late 19th century. The house later became home to the Warren family\, whose ancestors were among Wauwatosa’s earliest settlers. \n\n\n\n\n\nFormer Home for Dependent Children\, 9480 Watertown Plank Road \n\n\n\n\n\nTour the 1898 Administration Building that once served Milwaukee County’s most vulnerable children. This Colonial Revival structure\, now housing Milwaukee County Parks headquarters\, stands as the sole survivor of the original four-building campus that provided temporary residence for over 500 children during the Depression era. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEschweiler Manor\, 9841 Eschweiler Drive* \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nExperience the stunning transformation of this 1912 Engineering Building into a remarkable 7\,000-square-foot home. Saved from demolition and meticulously restored\, this former Milwaukee County School of Agriculture building now blends historic character with modern luxury\, featuring original maple floors\, salvaged dormitory brick fireplaces\, and restored windows. \n\n\n\n*Please see note below on parking at this tour stop \n\n\n\n\n\nWauwatosa East High School Lobby\, 7500 Milwaukee Avenue \n\n\n\n\n\nView the newly rediscovered Art Deco murals by Federal Arts Project artist Myron Nutting\, hidden behind plaster for decades before their restoration in 2004. The lobby also showcases exceptional handmade tiles from the Continental Faience & Tile Company\, with historian Ben Tyjeski sharing their remarkable story. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nKneeland-Walker Home\, Carriage House & Cider Shed\, 7406 Hillcrest Drive \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nExplore the behind the scenes areas of this 1889-1890 mansion and the estate’s historic outbuildings. The two-story carriage house preserves four intact horse stalls alongside modern adaptations\, while the modest cider shed recalls the agricultural rhythms that once defined this area. Don’t miss the 1889 Gordon-style printing press in the home’s basement that helped tell Wauwatosa’s earliest stories. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Tour\n\n\n\nThe Tour of Homes is one of three flagship fundraising events held by the Wauwatosa Historical Society each year.

SUMMARY:Postal Perfect Architecture: Sears and Roebuck Houses in Wisconsin
DESCRIPTION:Join us as we welcome Jim Draeger for his presentation on Sears and Roebuck Houses in Wisconsin! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJim Draeger discusses the emergence of the houses-by-mail phenomenon in an illustrated lecture.  Jim explores 19th century companies\, who offered blueprints by mail. As other companies entered the mail order business\, Sears and Roebuck began selling millwork and house plans in 1895 and by 1908 offered complete homes through mail order catalogs.  Sears eventually became the largest supplier of mail-order houses in America.  Over more than 3 decades of operation\, Sears and Roebuck claimed to have sold over 100\,000 homes.  Learn about this fascinating chapter of our building history seen through Wisconsin examples. \n\n\n\nJim Draeger has a deep and abiding interest in everyday buildings and the stories behind them. As an architectural historian\, who retired as State Historic Preservation Officer after 31 years at the Wisconsin Historical Society\, Draeger celebrates the importance of ordinary buildings to our daily lives through his research\, writing\, lectures and documentaries. With co-author\, Mark Speltz\, he has published with Wisconsin Historical Society Press\, two award-winning books profoundly imbedded with the history of Wisconsin: “Fill ‘er Up: The Glory Days of Wisconsin Gas Stations.” (2008) and “Bottoms Up: A Toast to Wisconsin’s Historic Bars & Breweries.” (2012) He is also a frequent presenter on Wisconsin Public Television\, which has produced a companion DVDs to both books and is seen in other documentaries on resorts\, supper clubs and other Wisconsin topics. \n\n\n\nRegister to secure your spot. Cost: FREE \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister Here\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThank you to our 2025 Speaker Series sponsor:
