Title: Brewers Hill Collection

Call Number: Mss-1830

Abstract:

The collection consists of research done by a Brewers Hill resident on the history of the homes in the neighborhood. This collection contains general information about the Brewers Hill neighborhood as well as information about specific homes in the area. The homes are listed by historic name and then present address.

Historical Note:

Brewers Hill is one of Milwaukee’s oldest neighborhoods. It is a distinct Victorian neighborhood set on a hill overlooking downtown. It is called Brewers Hill due to its close proximity of the Joseph Schlitz Brewing Complex. The homes in the area are a mix of single and multi-family homes that represents an array of Greek Revival, Queen Anne, Colonial Revival and Italianate architectural styles. In addition to homes, the neighborhood also contains some businesses, such as the F. Mayer Boot and Shoe Company and the Jung Brewing Company. The neighborhood is bordered on the north by North Avenue, to the east by Holton Avenue, to the south by the Milwaukee River and Pleasant Street and to the west by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Drive.

Administrative Note:

Collection was donated by Joanne Toman in March 2012. The collection was processed by Sarah Hopley in April 2012.

Lee, Mordecai, 1910-2004

BETAmchsAdmin — Sat, 03 Mar 2012 20:27:16 +0000

Title: Lee, Mordecai, 1910-2004
Call Number: Mss-2878

Abstract:

The collection consists of research done by Mordecai Lee, Professor of Governmental Affairs at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, on the Milwaukee Bureau of Economy and Efficiency. Later this bureau was reorganized in to the Citizens’ Bureau of Municipal Efficiency, which was then renamed the Citizens’ Bureau of Milwaukee. The collection includes publications and reports by the Bureau, as well as articles and histories relating to the Bureau.

Historical Note:

The Milwaukee Bureau of Economy and Efficiency was first created in 1910 in response to corruption in city government as well as a large vice problem in the city itself. Emil Seidel, the mayor at the time, wanted to create a group that would help organize the government into being more efficient in their running and expenditures. In 1912, the organization in its current form ceased to exist with the election of a new mayor, but important industrialists in the city wanted to keep the organization so they used private funds to create a new one, The Citizens’ Bureau of Efficiency. The bureau’s purpose was to survey and create reports of the different city departments then make recommendations to help them re-organize in order to run better and more efficiently.

Administrative Note:

Collection was donated by Mordecai Lee in 2011. The collection was processed by Amy Burkart-Paulson in March 2012.
