Lowell Damon House

The Lowell Damon House is a historic house located at 2107 Wauwatosa Avenue in Wauwatosa, Wisconsin built from 1844 to 1846, displaying a design unusual for Wisconsin. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on February 23, 1972. Description and history Oliver Damon was a carpenter and wheelwright who came to Wauwatosa from Fitzwilliam, New Hampshire in 1844. In that year he built the simple ell wing in the back of the house, using wood from the nearby forest. The 1935 HABS survey describes: "Some of the young saplings were simply squared on one side and used as rafters and joists. Others were hewn and squared with an adze, and the tool marks are still to be seen on many a piece of timber in the old house. Much of this timbering is of oak and black walnut." This start date makes it the oldest surviving home in Wauwatosa. With Oliver were his son-in-law, Jonathon Warren and other family. By 1846, Oliver and/or his son Lowell had added the stylish 1.5-story front section. The broad front and 1-room depth are unusual for Wisconsin - perhaps a form the Damons knew from New England. The shape of the building could be considered Colonial style, along with the front door with its symmetry and sidelights. Greek Revival style could provide the pilasters on the front corners, the cornice returns, and the frieze boards. The diamond-paned frieze windows on the side walls are an uncommon touch. By 1935, the fine house had fallen into disrepair. The HABS surveyor mourned, "...because it is a derelict of the past, a tumble-down structure in need of paint, because the brass knocker that once graced the front door is but a memory and its sill is worn by the tread of countless feet, it is neglected by the passer-by. The average citizen of Wauwatosa is not alive to the fact that here is an example of the purest type of architecture extant. Today (1935) the house is hardly habitable. It has outlived its usefulness as a human habitation. It is almost ready for the hand of the wrecker." Instead of succumbing to the wrecker, the house was given to the Milwaukee County Historical Society by the sons of Alexander Rogers, a later owner. The historical society restored it, and today operates it as a museum. In 2020 due to the costs of upkeep the Milwaukee County Historical Society sold the property to private owners. It is no longer a museum. https://www.milwaukeemag.com/oldest-home-wauwatosa-now-new-owners/ References External links Media related to Lowell Damon House (HABS) at Wikimedia Commons
Luther High School (Wisconsin)

Luther High School is a parochial school located in Onalaska, Wisconsin. It is associated with the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod. The majority of the students come from a group of churches in the area with the same religious affiliation. Some students come from as far away as Tomah, Wisconsin or Lewiston, Minnesota. The school's athletic teams participate in the Coulee Conference in the Wisconsin Interscholastic Athletic Association (WIAA). History Luther High School opened on September 8, 1957. The original class consisted of 29 ninth graders. The school was opened as a subsidiary of the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod, with the original feeder congregations being the four churches in the La Crosse area: First Lutheran, Mt. Calvary, Grace, and Immanuel. Of these four, only First Lutheran and Immanuel had elementary school programs from which to draw students. The following years brought steady increases to enrollment (46 in 1958 and 72 in 1959) that allowed for expansion of the school and an addition to the school structure. Since then, the school has had several additions to accommodate growing enrollment and technical advancements. Luther High School hosted a 50th anniversary celebration in 2007. Current faculty, past faculty, and past students presented at the day-long celebration. A book containing a photographic history of the previous 25 years was produced for the event. Athletics The football team made playoffs for the first time as a WIAA school in 2007 and finished the year with 7 wins and 3 losses. The girls' basketball team won the Coulee title in 2008 by going undefeated in the conference and won the regionals, beating Aquinas. WIAA Luther competes in the Coulee Conference and the Wisconsin Interscholastic Athletic Association (WIAA) at the state level. The school's hockey team, the Avalanche, is a co–op team composed of students from Aquinas, Holmen High School, Luther, and Coulee Christian High School.

Mackie Building

The Mackie Building is a grand commercial building designed by E. Townsend Mix and built in 1879 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, which housed Milwaukee's Grain Exchange Room, and the original trading pit. In 1973 the building was added to the National Register of Historic Places. History The building was originally called the Chamber of Commerce Building or the Grain Exchange. It was built in 1879 as an investment property by U.S. Representative Alexander Mitchell. During the 1970s, the building underwent extensive restorations. The exterior remains much as Mix designed it: five and a half stories, plus a tower centered above the main entrance, reaching 160 feet above the street. The first story is clad in gray Minnesota granite. Above that the exterior is gray sandstone and limestone. The windows are different at each story, but unified by alternating bands of color and texture. The roof is a complex of mansards. The north entrance is framed by granite columns and images of the Great Seal of Wisconsin and the bull and bear. The Grain Exchange was located in a large three-story room in the building. The room was designed in a Simple Italian architectural style, with soaring ceilings, hand painted frescoes, gold leaf and over 10,000 sq. feet of space. The grain exchange is closely linked with the early commercial history of Milwaukee, when for a brief time, the city was the world's largest primary wheat market for trading, exporting and inspecting grain. Milwaukee's lake port was near vast acres of wheat in the state, so the Milwaukee grain exchange conveniently located there and invented and utilized the very first octagonal trading pit. The grain exchange operated from 1880 to 1935. The Mackie Building is adjacent to the Mitchell Building, which was also built by Alexander Mitchell, also designed by E. Townsend Mix and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Gallery References External links Media related to Mackie Building at Wikimedia Commons
Madison Children's Museum

The Madison Children's Museum is a museum for children in Madison, Wisconsin, that contains exhibits on the arts, sciences, history, culture, health, and civic engagement. History Madison Children's Museum was founded in 1980 by a group of early childhood specialists. The founding board of directors and volunteers built traveling exhibits that were displayed at neighborhood centers, parks and playgrounds. They also operated a pilot museum in the basement of the Wisconsin Academy of Sciences, Arts and Letters. The success of the pilot program prompted the museum to relocate to a warehouse at Bedford and West Washington in 1985. After a successful capital campaign, Madison Children's Museum opened its doors in another rented location on 100 State Street in 1991. The museum once again outgrew its space. In 2005, MCM acquired a $5 million, five-story office building through the generosity of W. Jerome Frautschi. The museum undertook a $10 million capital campaign to renovate the building, create an accessible green roof, and install new exhibits. The new facility opened on August 14, 2010, and greatly expanded the museum's capacity. In 2014, Madison Children's Museum earned LEED Gold certification for an existing building. The museum was honored for its green practices, like its use of recycled building materials and composting practice. Exhibits The museum features many exhibits for kids of all ages, including a green rooftop. References

Magic Grove

Magic Grove is a public art work by artist Nancy Metz White. It is located in Enderis Playfield, which is northwest of downtown Milwaukee, Wisconsin. It was installed in November 2006 and dedicated in May 2007. Description Magic Grove consists of three brightly painted trees made of salvaged metal, a brick walkway and artist-designed benches. The trunks of the trees are made of steel plate, and the canopies are a collage of reclaimed forge flashings painted in greens, blues, reds and yellows. The flashings are welded to create a smooth surface across each tree canopy, interrupted occasionally by orange bird forms that jut vertically and perpendicularly from the top of each sculpture. The three trees are set into a circular plaza that is bright blue. Green and blue benches of varied sizes and heights surround the work. Commissioning process The project received funding initially through the Milwaukee Arts Board as part of a larger, two-year effort to renovate a recreational park managed by the Milwaukee Public Schools. Several neighborhood associations, local businesses and the Department of Public Works partnered to implement the renovation. The Enderis Park Neighborhood Association president said that partners "wanted a piece of art in the park to be the exclamation point on our joint effort." Neighbors and White collaborated to raise funds for the sculpture. References
Beloit Public Library

The Beloit Public Library is a public library located in Beloit, Wisconsin. The library is a member of the Arrowhead Library System, a consortium of seven libraries serving Rock County, Wisconsin. History The Beloit Public Library has been operating for 125 years. Beginning in the late 1850s, local volunteer fire companies began to offer library services. It wasn't until 1859 that the first library in Beloit was established. At the turn of the 20th century, industrialist Andrew Carnegie began donating millions of dollars for the construction of public libraries in the United States. In 1901, J.B. Dow, the president of the Beloit public library board petitioned Carnegie for funds to construct a new library building. In return, the Beloit library board was granted $25,000 to construct the building on the condition that the city appropriate $2,500 each year for its maintenance. By 1961, the Carnegie library building was deemed to be outmoded and a $400,000 plan was drafted for a new space. In 1966, the new library received an additional $206,000 in federal funds in order to further increase the size of the building. In 1969, the Beloit Public Library won the Wisconsin Library of the Year Award by the Wisconsin Library Association. This award was given in conjunction to both the Beloit and Janesville public libraries. A third move took place in 1972 when the Beloit and East Side libraries merged and moved to downtown Beloit following a $900,000 renovation of what was the former post office. A fourth move took it, in April 2009, from Pleasant St. to Eclipse Blvd in Beloit References External links Official site
