Description

Incorporated in 1892, Whitefish Bay is a pleasant, verdant village that may be home to more than fourteen thousand people. More than half of its five thousand houses and other structures have been deemed historic or architecturally vital. Even casual passersby can attest to the architectural significance of these buildings, and at the same time as the non-public history attached to them is less apparent, it’s no less dramatic. Their walls retain the stories in their remarkable inhabitants, from the outhouse where the primary village president disappeared in 1899 with $20,000 in public funds to the lakeside Beaux-Arts mansion built by a Schlitz Brewing Company heir with eight kinds of Italian marble. Jefferson J. Aikin and Thomas H. Fehring read about these landmark treasures and the legacy of the residents they assist preserve.
