Additional Comments

A 'site file' exists for this property. It contains additional information such as correspondence, newspaper clippings, or historical information. It is a public record and may be viewed in person at the Wisconsin Historical Society, State Historic Preservation Office. Henry Messmer and Sons was a long-lived Milwaukee architectural firm. Although Henry died in 1899, the sons carried on the family practice under that name until sometime around 1910. After 1910 they were known as Robert Messmer and Brother. The house would have been designed by either Robert or John. The Messmers specialized in religious and institutional buildings, their more notable designs would include the Southern Wisconsin Home for the Feeble-minded and Epileptic, the Schwartz Ballroom in Hartford and Milwaukee brewer William Gettleman's house. During the period that this house was built, the Messmers appeared to be designing mostly Craftsman and Arts and Crafts style houses. Many of their houses were built in the fashionable neighborhoods on Milwaukee's near east side
