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.

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.
