Milwaukee’s historic preservation regulations are anything but historic.
The City of Milwaukee has changed the ordinance multiple times in the past two decades, including switching the reporting structure for the full-time staff from Department of City Development control to City Clerk control.
Now, led by Alderman
Robert Bauman, the council is moving to take control of who gets to sit on the seven-member, part-time board of the Historic Preservation Commission. The move would give the Common Council president, not the mayor, control of who gets appointed for three-year terms.

A one-story building in Milwaukee’s Arlington Heights neighborhood could become a home for 20 small businesses.
That’s according to a plan from
Eric Brown. He secured approval for a $166,000 loan from the Milwaukee Economic Development Corporation‘s loan and finance committee on Wednesday.
Brown would purchase and rehabilitate the one-story, 7,939-square-foot building at 3658-3660 N. Teutonia Ave. It would become an “entrepreneur incubator hub” with 20 micro suites. The structure was built in 1966 according to city records.

The Common Council dealt a final blow Tuesday to any hopes of preserving the former Forest Home Library. It rejected a historic designation and approved selling the property to a developer who is proposing to demolish the building.
The Milwaukee Public Library system is proposing to sell the property to ICAP Development for $450,000, which would demolish the 14,500-square-foot structure and build a $5 million, 18,000-square-foot clinic for Children’s Hospital of Wisconsin.

The COVID-19 pandemic decimated travel across the globe, and Milwaukee’s first hostel was not immune to the effects. Cream City Hostel closed its doors earlier this year amidst the travel slowdown.
But the building at 500 E. Center St. didn’t go dark. Bader Philanthropies is backing a new cooperative housing model built from the hostel’s infrastructure. The organization is providing a low-interest $450,000 loan to support the building’s conversion and retire existing debt. Milwaukee Area Cohousing is providing support on the conversion.
