The event will again be held at Best Place at the Historic Pabst Brewery, 917 W. Juneau Ave., and begins at 5:30 p.m. on Thursday, May 29th.

The public is invited and refreshments will be served.

2025 Cream of the Cream City Award honorees will receive a commemorative brick recognizing how they have met the special stewardship challenges required of historic buildings. The 2025 winners who will be honored are listed in the attached document.

Alderman Robert J. Bauman, chair of the Historic Preservation Commission, said the awards recognize projects “large and small which have preserved the rich history of Milwaukee found in its varied architecture from the 19th and 20th centuries.”

“The work that will be recognized on May 29 is inspiring, and I encourage members of the public to attend the event and see firsthand what historic preservation truly looks like in Milwaukee,” Alderman Bauman said.
