As a Menomonee Falls teenager growing up in in the late 1970s, we knew it as the Witch’s House (as does Google today).

The chief attraction was the depressing grey weirdness of the sculptures which gave credence to the tale of a widow driven mad by the death of her husband and son, mariners lost to a Great Lakes storm.
It is my understanding that much of her work has already been moved to the Kohler Museum in Sheboygan. Move the rest out of this tiny isolated cul-de-sac which does not lend itself to any sort of public venue. Unless there is a permanent police presence at the main road, limited usage is at best naive, at worst a cynical lie to push an agenda.
