This 1892 Flemish Renaissance mansion, constructed for beer baron Captain Frederick Pabst, was saved from demolition in 1975 by a group of concerned local citizens. Faithfully restored and furnished, the mansion is now an amazing example of Milwaukee's wealthy history. Considered the crown jewel of Grand Avenue when it was built, the mansion has 37 rooms, 12 bathrooms, and 14 fireplaces. It was wired for electricity, had full indoor plumbing, and cutting edge central heating, complete with 16 thermostats. Originally there were several outbuildings, including a stable designed as a miniature version of the mansion, a glass conservatory and servant's quarters. |
