Kneeland-Walker House

The Kneeland-Walker House is a 3-story mansion built in 1890 in Wauwatosa, Wisconsin, styled Queen Anne with Shingle style influence. Still largely intact, and possibly the finest example of Queen Anne architecture in Wauwatosa, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1989. History Norman L. Kneeland was born in 1832 in New York and educated there. After serving in the Civil War, he moved to Wisconsin in 1865 and bought a 100-acre farm from his father and uncle. He prospered and in 1889 sold the farm, which was later developed into Washington Park. Shortly after, Kneeland bought six lots on Hillcrest Drive, at that time called Center Street, and built the house. The house is three stories tall, with a three-story onion-domed tower on one corner and a porte-cochère on the west side. It sits on a limestone foundation with the first floor clad in brick, the second in weatherboard, and the third in wooden shingles. A large gambrel-roofed dormer tops the front of the house and a tall fluted chimney rises behind the tower. Inside the house are oak pocket doors and a staircase leading up to the second floor. Behind the house is a carriage house with stalls for four horses. Also in the back yard is a small building which was a cider shed when an orchard surrounded the house during the Kneeland era. While living in the house, James Kneeland was active in city politics. He was president of the city council at his death in 1900. The house stayed in the Kneeland family until 1917. In that year, the house was purchased by Emery L. Walker, an engineer for the Kieckhefer Container Company, which made cardboard boxes. The Walkers lived in the house until 1985. The Wauwatosa Historical Society purchased the house from Constance Walker in 1987. It is now their headquarters and a museum. Additionally, it has been designated a Wauwatosa Landmark and a Milwaukee County Landmark. References External links Kneeland-Walker House - Wauwatosa Historical Society
Knickerbocker Hotel (Milwaukee, Wisconsin)

The Knickerbocker on the Lake is a historic hotel opened in 1929, located in the Yankee Hill neighborhood of downtown Milwaukee, Wisconsin. It was built as an eight-story residential apartment hotel. In 1988 it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Description The Knickerbocker's neighborhood was called Yankee Hill because many of Milwaukee's early leaders living there in the 1800s were Yankees from New England. They liked the neighborhood because it was close to the downtown and had nice views along Lake Michigan. It was also part of Milwaukee's "Gold Coast". By 1900 many of the prominent Yankees living there had been replaced by prominent German and Irish. After 1900 many of the big old single-family homes were divided into rooming houses, and some were razed to make space for apartment buildings and residential hotels. These allowed more middle and upper-class people to live at a prestigious address close to downtown without the cost or trouble of maintaining their own free-standing home. The Astor Hotel was one like this, built in 1916 and expanded in 1925. Very similar, the Knickerbocker was built just up Juneau Avenue in 1929. The Knickerbocker Hotel was designed by architects Rossman & Wierdsma of Milwaukee in late Neo-Classical Revival style, somewhat simplified as fashion shifted toward Art Deco and more modern styles. The building was generally U-shaped, eight stories tall. The exterior is reddish brick decorated with terra cotta. The first two floors are covered with terra cotta panels. The eighth floor is set off with a terra cotta cornice. The windows on that floor are surrounded by pilasters and window hoods decorated with wreaths and foliage. Inside, the first floor housed an elegant lobby and retail space. Above that each floor held about 30 apartments. For many years it was owned by the Kaiser family and known as the Kaiser Knickerbocker Hotel. The Knickerbocker on the Lake bills itself a boutique hotel, with suites decorated in styles varying from Victorian to French Country. A number of the rooms are now owner-occupied. From 1994 to 2011, the hotel housed the Osterio del Mondo, which had been rated a top hotel restaurant by Zagat/USA Today.

LaBahn Arena

LaBahn Arena is the home ice of the Wisconsin Badgers women's ice hockey team. It was the second arena to be purpose-built for a women's collegiate hockey team; the first was Minnesota's Ridder Arena. The arena is connected via a tunnel to the Kohl Center, which the women's team shared with the men's team from its inception in 1999 until 2012. The men's team also practices there. The facility also houses locker rooms for the swimming and diving teams. Naming The arena is named for longtime Badger boosters Chuck and Mary Ann LaBahn, its main fundraisers. Background Before 2012, the women's ice hockey team drove from its headquarters at the Camp Randall Memorial Sports Center to the Kohl Center. Whenever the Kohl Center was being readied for a basketball game, the women drove to a rink in nearby Verona for practice. The men often practiced at the Bob Johnson Hockey Facility three miles from campus or the Memorial Sports Center when the Kohl Center was being readied for basketball. They often had to make these trips in dangerous conditions during Madison's typically snowy and icy winters, leading Wisconsin State Journal columnist Andy Baggot to argue that LaBahn's construction was a "necessity" for the players' safety. The men's ice hockey team also played at LaBahn Arena during the 2020-21 season. Normally, LaBahn serves as the backup venue for the men's team. However, during the 2020-21 season, the Big Ten Conference mandated all conference games be played behind closed doors. School officials felt they could not justify the expense of switching the Kohl Center between basketball and hockey without fans in attendance, and opted to have the men play the entire season at LaBahn.

Lafayette County Courthouse (Wisconsin)

The Lafayette County Courthouse is a Neoclassical building constructed in Darlington, Wisconsin in 1905. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1978. An earlier county courthouse stood on the southeast corner of the same lot since 1861 - a three-story stone building. By 1900 more space was needed. Matt Murphy of Benton, Wisconsin was the remaining trustee of a fund to care for widows and others affected by the Civil War. The fund was not needed after the federal government took responsibility for those affected by the war, and after exploring other options, Murphy dedicated it to help build the new 1905 courthouse. Along with the Civil War survivors' fund, Murphy gave 70% of his own estate to the county for a courthouse. Ultimately, the cost of building the courthouse was more than $136,000. It is the only county courthouse in the United States to be fully funded by one person. The building was designed in Neoclassical style by Menno S. Detweiler and Frank W. Kinney of Minneapolis. The main block of the building is three stories tall, clad in buff limestone, with rusticated quoins. The main entrance protrudes as a distyle in antis Greek temple form, with a relief sculpture of Matt Murphy in the pediment. The roof is hipped. From the center rises the cupola. The first stage has Ionic columns between windows topped with clock faces. The second stage of the cupola is octagonal, topped with copper. Inside, light from a skylight in the cupola illuminates the center of the building, with marble wainscoting, hexagonal tiles, arches, and murals depicting Justice, Equality, Courage and Liberty. Scenes from the 2009 film Public Enemies were filmed at the courthouse. References
Lake Redstone

Lake Redstone is a reservoir formed by a dam on Big Creek near La Valle in northern Sauk County of Wisconsin, United States. It was constructed by local lake builder Ike Isaacson in 1964. A county park exists on the south shore, including a beach and waterfall. The lake's surface area is approximately 650 acres (2.6 km2), with over 17 miles (27 km) of shoreline and 4½ miles long. Lake Redstone has a 19,200-acre (78 km2) watershed to the north from Juneau County that fills the lake. The dam is located at the south end and has a top draw spillway. All excess water creates a cascading waterfall and eventually flows into the Baraboo River. History Construction of the lake was started in 1964 by Ike Issacson. It was finished two years later, in 1966. Community Lake Redstone has no mandatory owners association, but owners are encouraged to join the Lake Redstone Property Owners Association.

Lakeshore State Park

Lakeshore State Park is a 22-acre (8.9 ha) Wisconsin state park located on the shores of Lake Michigan in the city of Milwaukee. It is situated adjacent to both Discovery World and Henry Maier Festival Park. Description The park itself is perched atop an artificial bed of limestone rock material removed during the Deep Tunnel Project in the 1980s. It is the only urban state park in Wisconsin and features restored prairie and a pebble beach. In addition to the prairie, portions of the park are planted with Kentucky bluegrass. The park has a paved trail that connects to both the Hank Aaron State Trail and the Oak Leaf Trail. The park features a fishing pier overlooking a basin, on the side opposite Lake Michigan. There are also boat slips at the north end of the park that can be occupied overnight. History Originally known as Harbor Island, the land was built to protect Henry Maier Festival Park from erosion and to shelter boats in the lagoon from storms. It was set aside for "public use and enjoyment" by Milwaukee mayor John Norquist in October 1991. In 1998, the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources made the island into a state park and set aside space for prairie restoration.

Lamb Building

The Lamb Building is a historic commercial building built a block west of the capitol square in Madison, Wisconsin in 1905. One of the few Queen Anne-style commercial buildings in the city, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1984. History The building, which was designed by architecture firm Claude and Starck, was originally constructed for retired attorney F. J. Lamb in 1905. It stands three stories and reaches around the back of the wedge-shaped Commercial State Bank building at the corner of State and Carroll to expose a storefront at 114 State St and another at 114 N Carroll St. The two facades are similar in design. The street-level storefront on State has been changed but the one on Carroll is original. On each facade, a large two-story oriel bay window protrudes from the center. The upper sash of each window is leaded glass in a diamond pattern around a heraldic shield design. The bays are framed by limestone quoins, and those by red brick. The original inside was maple flooring, hardwood trim, and lath and plaster walls and ceilings. Since construction, the building has been used for a number of commercial purposes. The Commercial State Bank next door used it for a while, and it housed Charles O. Davis' men's clothing store in the 1940s. In 1983, the building was designated a landmark by the Madison Landmarks Commission, and it was added to the NRHP the following year as a good example of Queen Anne style applied to a commercial building, and as one of the "finest remaining buildings in Madison designed by local masters Claude and Starck."
