Pabst Mansion

Pabst Mansion is a mansion located at 2000 W. Wisconsin Avenue, Milwaukee, Wisconsin. It was once the home to Captain Frederick Pabst, founder of the Pabst Brewing Company.

History

Captain Pabst commissioned Milwaukee architect, George Bowman Ferry to design a mansion in the Flemish Renaissance Revival style. On June 27, 1890, a building permit was issued for the construction of the home that would take two years to build. The Pabst family lived at the mansion from 1892 until 1908, when the Archdiocese of Milwaukee purchased the mansion. For the next 67 years, five Archbishops as well as many priest and sisters lived at the Pabst mansion. In 1975 the Archdiocese put the mansion up for sale, with the hopes that a historic preservation group would purchase the mansion and restore it to its former glory. to make way for a parking structure. In 1998, the organization was renamed, Captain Frederick Pabst Mansion, Inc. To this day the mansion is open to the public with daily tours.cite web | title=The Pabst Mansion | url= http://www.pabstmansion.com/| accessdate=2007-01-11]
