On May 17th, we took the Historic Milwaukee annual “Spaces and Traces” house tour, which this year covered the Washington Heights neighborhood of the City of Milwaukee. Most of the houses in this area were built in the 1920’s, and ranged from a classic “Milwaukee bungalow” to a rather fantastic “story book style” house to some pretty grand homes. Unlike some tours there was only one house we would have gladly moved right into, but it was striking how many of the houses, despite being 90+ years old were still largely original in layout, and still very livable.
