NOTES
Additional Information:Currently known as the Jewish Home & Care Center, this facility traces its roots to 1906 and the Hebrew Institute Organization, which maintained a home for elderly Jewish people without family means to care for them. The home was located in two other facilities around Milwaukee before settling at its current Prospect Avenue location in 1973.

Not resurveyed as part of Milwaukee Downtown Connector Arch/History Survey (2010), Prepared by Heritage Research. No initial integrity.
