SUMMARY:Frank Lloyd Wright’s Burnham Block historic site | Curator’s Virtual Tour
DESCRIPTION:Virtual visit Frank Lloyd Wright’s Burnham Block homes with Curator Mike Lilek. This virtual visit\, lecture\, and live Q&A will explore Wright’s earliest examples of affordable\, small scale dwellings. \n“You Can Own an American Home\,” promised a 1917 ad for Frank Lloyd Wright’s new American System-Built Houses. The lecture will explore Wright’s broad vision to shelter all Americans in a beautiful home of his design – with emphasis on the American System-Built Homes in Milwaukee. Wright would say\, “I believe this effort is the logical conclusion of my studies and my architectural practice…” \nThe home at 2714 W. Burnham St. is a Model B1 of the American System-Built homes. It has been meticulously restored to its 1916 appearance.  This tiny 805 square foot home brings together nearly all of Wright’s design principles from his earlier Prairie period. Nature is an extension of the interior spaces\, light fills the home\, privacy and serenity are primary.  The modest homes speak to our contemporary sensitivities of efficiency and economy. They challenge us to re-think how we build shelter and how we connect occupants to nature and the outdoors. Reflecting on the American System-Built Homes\, one scholar called them a “…life-enhancing work of art.” We couldn’t agree more! \nThis event will feature a virtual tour video and will end with a live Q&A. \nTickets are $10 and are available here. \nThis will be a virtual event hosted on the Zoom platform. \nYou will be sent the event URL by email after you purchase your ticket.

SUMMARY:Milwaukee Must Reads: City of Neighborhoods by John Gurda
DESCRIPTION:City of Neighborhoods is the most comprehensive account of grassroots Milwaukee ever published. Based on a popular series of posters published by the City of Milwaukee in the 1980s\, the book features both historical chronicles and contemporary portraits of 37 neighborhoods that emerged before World War II\, an ensemble that defines the historic heart of the city. \nFor our discussion\, we will focus on the Menomonee River Valley chapter (p 31-45) and the drastic changes to the Valley’s landscape since European settlers first set foot in Milwaukee. Milwaukee’s Valley was once the homeland to Native American tribes. As the city developed into the Machine Shop of the World in the 1800s and 1900s\, the Valley was its engine with hundreds of companies and thousands of jobs. It’s always been a place where nature and industry have intersected\, at times more harmoniously than others. It’s also been a place of sustenance for industries and the people from surrounding neighborhoods who worked in those industries. \nMany of today’s Milwaukeeans recall the intense olfactory experience as they approached the Valley in their youth and others remember watching the trains from the 35th street viaduct. What are your memories of the Valley? How has your perception changed over time? If you have time\, we encourage you to read the chapters on neighborhoods adjacent to the Valley that are of interest to you as our neighborhoods intersect and impact each other. \nMerrill Park – p75\nPigsville – p85\nStory Hill – p95\nWalker’s Point – p341\nClarke Square – p343\nSilver City – p367 \nWe are sure to have a lively discussion based on your experiences of these Milwaukee neighborhoods! \nHow to Get the Book \nSupport local at Boswell Books\nSupport local at Historic Milwaukee: online or in-store for 50% off until the end of 2020\nMilwaukee Public Library \nSupplementary Material: Encyclopedia of Milwaukee articles \nMenomonee Valley\nMerrill Park\nPigsville\nStory Hill \nMore to Come \nThis is the second book discussion in the Milwaukee Must Reads series sponsored by Historic Milwaukee\, Menomonee Valley Partners\, the Milwaukee Public Library\, and Boswell Books. Join us in March as we explore The Notorious Life of Dirty Helen Cromwell and her spectacular reputation right here in Milwaukee.
