Is it illegal to identify this place with an address?
I recall reading the the place originally was a horse barn for the Schlitz brewery.
Blurondo — No way this was a horse barn; area was well built up by 1880s. The Schlitz Brewery was 4 miles away; The Schlitz resting home for draft horses was Nine Mile Farm, now Schlitz Audubon Nature Center in Bayside. Some day to day stables and related facilities for Schlitz are still extant on the Schlitz Park property.
The Rev — The address (939 E. Conway St.) is the first item listed in the Rundown, as always.

Michael Horne, I love these historical accounts of our Milwaukee bars! I’ve never been to The Newport before (or even heard of it), but now I want to visit!
