The first full-length history of Milwaukee since 1948, The 3rd Edition of The Making of Milwaukee is a well-written, entertaining history of this hometown  metropolis.  John Gurda is a Milwaukee-born writer, historian,  photographer, lecturer, and local history columnist for the Milwaukee  Journal Sentinel. 1999; 458 pages; black and white photos; hard cover.

Featuring over 150 color photographs taken by reclusive amateur  photographer Lyle Oberwise, this is the first publication devoted to the  work of this prodigious documentarian.  2007; 161 pages; 150 color photos; hard cover.

Yance Marti, presents vintage photographs of a number of downtown buildings that have been demolished. The photographs were taken by local photographers, Alan Magayne-Roshak and Gordy Simons during the late 1960s through the early 1980s and show the architecture lost during that time of change for the city. Local architectural historian and web developer of oldmilwaukee.net Yance Marti has researched these missing structures and shown their importance to downtown’s history. He has worked with Alan and Gordy to reveal a side of the city that younger readers have never seen.

Some of the buildings documented in Missing Milwaukee include the Norman Apartments, Belmont Hotel, Metropolitan Block, Pabst Building, Chapman’s Department Store, Chicago and Northwestern Railway Depot, and the Elks Club. Missing Milwaukee is being released in conjunction with Doors Open Milwaukee in order to offer readers a chance to see the contrast between downtown Milwaukee’s remaining historic architecture and the historic architecture that is shown in the book. Each of the buildings in the photographs were important in the development of the city and their loss was a loss to the city’s vitality.

“Cream City Chronicles” is a collection of lively stories about the people, the events, the landmarks, and the institutions that have made Milwaukee a unique American community. These stories, each featuring a historic photograph, represent the best of historical John Gurda’s popular Sunday columns that have appeared in the “Milwaukee Journal Sentinel” since 1994. Find yourself transported back to another time, when the village of Milwaukee was home to fur trappers and traders. Follow the development of Milwaukee’s distinctive neighborhoods, its rise as a port city and industrial center, and its changing political climate. From singing mayors to summer festivals, from blueblood weddings to bloody labor disturbances, “Cream City Chronicles” offers a generous sampling of tales that express the true character of a hometown metropolis.

Initially dominated by simple renditions of East Coast architecture, Milwaukee developed from three pioneer settlements, those of Solomon Juneau, Byron Kilbourn, and George Walker–three hubs from which three villages radiated outward into one city. Following the Civil War, Milwaukee’s growth at the onset of the Industrial Era afforded the city a fanciful array of Victorian streetscapes. The 1890s followed with an era of ethnic architecture in which bold interpretations of German Renaissance Revival and Baroque designs paid homage to Milwaukee’s overwhelming German population. At the turn of the century, Milwaukee’s proximity to Chicago influenced the streetscape with classicized civic structures and skyscrapers designed by Chicago architects. World War I and the ensuing anti-German sentiment, as well as Prohibition, inevitably had adverse effects on “Brew City.” By the 1920s, Milwaukee’s architecture had assimilated to the national aesthetic, suburban development was on the rise, and architectural growth would soon be stunted by the Great Depression.

Images from Milwaukee’s Historic Preservation Commission and the Milwaukee Public Library were selected by author Megan E. Daniels to narrate Milwaukee’s architectural history as it responded to the city’s development and historical events.

Milwaukee’s Brady Street neighborhood, bounded by the Milwaukee River, Lake Michigan, Ogdon Avenue, and Kane Place, is arguably the most densely-populated square mile in the state of Wisconsin. A mix of historic shops, single-family homes, apartments, and condos, Brady Street boasts of great diversity that draws from many distinct eras. It began in the mid-19th century as a crossroads between middle-class Yankees from the east and early German settlers. Polish and Italian immigrants soon followed, working the mills, tanneries, and breweries that lined the riverbank. After these groups had assimilated and many of their descendents moved to the suburbs, the hippies in the 1960s arrived with their counterculture to fill the void. By the 1980s, the area fell into blight, neglect, and decay; now, a true model for new urbanism, the Brady Street neighborhood is in the midst of a renaissance.

Frank D. Alioto, a lieutenant with the Milwaukee Fire Department, has authored his monthly column, “A Brief History Lesson,” for Brady Street News since 1996. He has also volunteered for the Milwaukee County Historical Society and is a guide for walking tours through several city neighborhoods with Historic Milwaukee, Inc.

German immigrants began arriving to Milwaukee in the 1830s. By 1859, over one-third of the city was German. They opened schools and churches, started businesses, ran for office, and introduced professional German theater, art, and music to the city. Milwaukee soon became known throughout the United States—and even abroad—as the “German Athens of North America.” There is a reason Milwaukee is known as the city of beer and brats, why it is here that the biggest Germanfest in the country takes place, and why still today the German language can be seen and heard throughout the city. As the well-known German newspaper the Frankfurter Allgemeine stated in 2008, “Deutscher als Milwaukee ist nirgendwo in Amerika” (There is nowhere in America more German than in Milwaukee).

Jennifer Watson Schumacher is an associate professor of German and Scandinavian literature at the University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee. This book grew out of a course she taught at the university called German Milwaukee and was inspired by her German students who so enthusiastically embrace their own German heritage and the city of Milwaukee. Nineteen students collected the material for this book and put their hearts and souls into its creation.

What did early Milwaukeeans do to have fun and relax? This book answers that question, covering pop culture from the mid-1800s up to 1950, from the earliest tavern stages hosting traditional German plays and musicals, to the large traveling circus acts that arrived via the railroad, to the beer gardens, nickelodeons, and old grand cinemas that dominated the city’s landscape during the first half of the 20th century. In its heyday, Milwaukee had several classic amusement parks with roller coasters, fun houses, water rides, and more. The first movie was shown in Milwaukee in 1896, and by 1920, there were nearly 100 buildings dedicated to motion pictures. And it was two Milwaukee businessmen who discovered the great Charlie Chaplin and also produced the 1915 epic Birth of a Nation.

Larry Widen, author of seven books and numerous articles on Milwaukee history, brings to life the city where all this activity took place, with over 200 vintage images and postcards in Entertainment in Early Milwaukee. Widen, a member of the Milwaukee County Historical Society and the Wisconsin State Historical Society, owns and operates the Times Cinema, a 1935 art deco movie theater near downtown Milwaukee.
