Property Description

Elegant and stately 3-story limestone Neoclassical/Beaux Arts mansion originally designed and built nearly 150 years ago by architects Fernekes & Cramer for lumber baron William H Bradley and home to a handful of prominent Milwaukee families until being converted to Lakeview Hospital in the 1940s. Most recently home to Mueller Communications for many years. Bringing us to today, two floors of approximately 3500 sf each configured for office use and nearly 2800 sf third floor consisting of a ballroom and a residence. Generous room sizes and spacious central corridor make this a flexible and functional headquarters for a variety of operations and business uses. Or bring your redevelopment ideas to write the next chapter for this long-standing sentry for Milwaukee.
