Eschweiler Excursions Part II

Historic Milwaukee Inc. has planned a second set of trolley tours of Eschweiler buildings 
on Thursday, September 16 from 1:30 to 4:30 p.m. and again on Saturday, September 18 from 11:30 to 2:30 p.m. 
The tour will be narrated by Win Thrall, curator of the 2007 exhibition “Alexander Eschweiler in Milwaukee” 
at the Charles Allis Art Museum – the first exhibition in history to feature the work of Alexander Eschweiler. 
Limited edition exhibition catalogues will be available for purchase for tour-goers only.

This year the tour will focus on commercial buildings in the downtown as well 
as a selection of residences in the East Side. 
One step-off tour will be into the 1937 Art Moderne, Hotel Metro once known as the 
Mariner Building to get a great view of the Telephone Building from the Hotel’s rooftop. 
Another highlight has been added to end the tour. There will be a stop into the 
Wisconsin Architectural Archive in the Milwaukee Public Library.

The library’s Humanities Department staff members will present building research information 
and there will be a showing of a short DVD documenting the 2007 “Alexander Eschweiler in Milwaukee” exhibition. 
The Archive will have architectural renderings and Mark Heffron’s exhibition photographs on display.
Historic Milwaukee is pleased to be collaborating with event sponsors Hotel Metro and 
Thomas and Gabriele Eschweiler, as well as partnering with the Milwaukee Public Library 
and the Wisconsin Architectural Archive.
