Milwaukee’s Early Architecture (Arcadia), by Megan E. Daniels

By David Luhrssen
 
Arcadia Publishing’s ongoing series of heavily illustrated booklets on local history continues with Milwaukee’s EarlyArchitecture. With a firm grip on the city’s origins and growth, UWM art history major Megan Daniels succinctly chronicles the leap from the wood frame buildings of pioneer days into the lavish architecture reflecting traditions and aspirations of the German and Polish immigrants who dominated the city by the late 19th century. While the trove of black and white photos show that many old landmarks are still extant, they also sadly reveal many grand structures that did not survive. Daniels concludes her survey with the lovely Art Deco building that became Hotel Metro.
