Matthias Stein Residence
| Subheading states the center building to be the oldest house in Milwaukee, and built by Matthias Stein in January 1838. The home is only two stories tall, with taller buildings on each side separated by fenced alleyways. At the entrance a man stands with his arms folded, below a sign with a depiction of a gun, and "M.Stein". Two other men are on the sidewalk. A horse-drawn vehicle is on the road, and advertisements are on and behind the power line pole. The monument-looking object in the road has an unknown purpose. |
