| George Brumder and his family moved into this house at 1728 Grand Avenue in 1892. After the death of Henriette Brumder in 1924 the house was sold to Milwaukee Children's Hospital, which demolished the house and built a new hospital building on the site. That building was later owned by Marquette University and renamed Glenn Humphrey Hall. |
