Milwaukee Pierhead Light

The Milwaukee Pierhead Light is an active lighthouse located in the Milwaukee harbor, just south of downtown. This aid to navigation is a 'sister' of the Kenosha North Pier Light. History The station was established in 1872. It is west of the Milwaukee Breakwater Light, and is near the outflow of the Milwaukee River—not far east of where that river converged with the Kinnickinnic River—into the Milwaukee Harbor and Lake Michigan. This light has a round steel tower with a round gallery and a ten-sided lantern. In 1926, the original 4th Order Fresnel lens was transferred to the Milwaukee Breakwater Light, and that lens is now displayed at the Wisconsin Maritime Museum in Manitowoc, Wisconsin. The Fifth Order Fresnel lens—installed in 1926—was removed in 2005. The tower is newly painted circa 2007. The 5th Order lens is said to be on display also at the Wisconsin Maritime Museum. According to one source: "The original lantern room had helical bar windows and is believed to [be] the one presently on the Breakwater Light." This is corroborated by the report that the Breakwater Light has a "round cast iron lantern room [that] features helical astragal" in the lantern. A Submarine cable runs from this light to the Milwaukee Breakwater Light, upon which a lighted danger warning is displayed. The light was recently painted, circa 2007. From 1872 until 1926, the light had its own keepers. Thereafter, this light, like all of the lights in the harbor, was serviced by the resident Lighthouse keepers who were stationed at the neighboring North Point Light Station until it was automated. The light was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in November 2012. Directions The light is located in downtown Milwaukee, at the end of East Erie Street, which leads to a short pier. Parking is available. The pier may be walked, but the tower is closed. I-43 to east I-794. Take exit(1F)(Lincoln Memorial Drive), proceed north to Michigan Street. Turn right onto Michigan.

Общественный музей Милуоки

Общественный музей Милуоки (англ. Milwaukee Public Museum; сокр. MPM) — музей естественной истории в Милуоки, США. Был основан в 1882 году и открыт для публики в 1884 году. Является некоммерческой организацией, управляемой предприятием Milwaukee Public Museum, Inc. Здание музей имеет три этажа с экспонатами и включает первый в штате Висконсин IMAX-кинотеатр. Общественный музей Милуоки был одним из немногих крупных американских музеев, созданных в конце XIX века. Официально образованный в 1882 году, он имеет предысторию с 1851 года, со дня основания академии German-English Academy (ныне — University School of Milwaukee). Глава академии — Петер Энгельман (англ. Peter Engelmann), поощрял студенческие полевые выезды, в результате которых были собраны первые образцы органических, геологических и археологических артефактов, которые хранились в академии. Позже, уже выпускниками академии, музею дарились различные исторические и этнологические экспонаты. К 1857 году коллекция академии выросла до такой степени, что Энгельман организовал в академии общество естественной истории, которое занималось классификацией и уходом за экспонатами. В итоге неофициальный «музей» стал превышать возможности академии по его размещению. Стимулом для организации самостоятельного музея стал городской олдермен Август Стирн (англ. August Stirn), который получил от легислатуры штата разрешение на создание «бесплатного общественного музея». Сформированный попечительский совет нанял Карла Дорфлингера (англ. Carl Doerflinger), в качестве первого директора музея, и арендовал место для размещения его экспонатов. Для публики музей был открыт 24 мая 1884 года. До ухода в отставку в 1888 году, первый директор музея, кроме текущей деятельности, способствовал, приобретению городскими властями земельного участка, на котором можно было бы построить здание, которое предполагалось использовать для музея и библиотеки. Новое здание было построено в 1898 году. Учёный-антрополог Сэмюэл Барретт (англ. Samuel Barrett) руководил музеем в трудные годы Великой депрессии. Строительство нового современного здания музея началось в 1960 году и завершено в 1962. С 2010 года Общественным музеем Милуоки руководит директор Джей Уильямс (англ. Jay B. Williams), ранее работавший в банковской сфере. Примечания Ссылки Официальный сайт Архивная копия от 3 апреля 2015 на Wayback Machine (англ.)

Mitchell Building

The Mitchell Building is an ornate five-story bank and insurance building designed by E. Townsend Mix in Second Empire style and built in 1876 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1973. History Alexander Mitchell was a Scottish immigrant who came to the U.S. in 1839. By 1876 he was a successful businessman - president of the Wisconsin Marine and Fire Insurance Company Bank, the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Railroad, and the Northwestern National Insurance Company. He had also served two terms in the U.S. House of Representatives, representing Wisconsin's 4th District. Around that year he commissioned this new office building to house his bank and insurance companies. It replaced Mitchell's previous Marine Bank building and is believed to sit on the site of the home of Solomon Juneau, who founded Milwaukee in the 1830s. Mitchell hired prominent Milwaukee architect E. Townsend Mix to design his new building, and Mix came through with a 5-story rectangular block, in then-popular Second Empire style, with its first-story walls of gray Minnesota granite and upper walls of limestone, trimmed with multiple elaborate cornices and window hoods, with a complex mansard roof and an ornate central tower. Masonry contractor John Roberts carried out Mix's design. Francis A. Lydston decorated inside with frescoes. The interior was said to be as elaborate as the exterior, with marble floors, wainscot, and elegant staircases, but much of that has disappeared with remodeling. On completion in 1878, Mitchell's bank and insurance company took residence in the building. The bank remained until 1930. In 1879 the Mackie Building was begun just next door, also built by Mitchell, designed by E. Townsend Mix and listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Today the exterior of the Mitchell Building remains highly intact, and stands as an example of Second Empire style in Milwaukee. References

MGIC Investment Corporation

MGIC Investment Corporation NYSE: MTG ("MGIC") is a provider of private mortgage insurance in the United States. The company is headquartered in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. In addition to mortgage insurance, MGIC provides lenders with various underwriting and other services and products related to home mortgage lending. Today, MGIC serves lenders in the United States, Puerto Rico and Guam with obtaining mortgage insurance. History In 1957, the company was founded in Milwaukee by Max H. Karl, a real estate attorney who noticed that his clients were having trouble paying for their new homes. Karl invented modern private mortgage insurance and secured US$250,000 from investors, including friends and business associates, to open MGIC. In 1982, Karl sold the company to Baldwin United for $1.2 billion. In 1983 Baldwin United filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, and in 1985 MGIC was liquidated and its assets sold to Northwestern Mutual for $775 million. That same year, Karl and others set up a new company with the same name sometimes called "New MGIC." In 1987, Bill Lacy was appointed chairman and chief executive officer of the company. Karl died in 1995. Lacy died in 2016. Starting in 2007, the subprime mortgage crisis resulted in record insurance claims for MGIC that threatened its ability to maintain its required regulatory capital. In coordination with the Wisconsin Office of the Commissioner of Insurance and Fannie Mae, MGIC reactivated and recapitalized its original business entity (Old MGIC) for underwriting while it took steps to reduce claim exposure for New MGIC. To increase its capital MGIC conducted several offerings of stock and convertible notes; sold its interest in Sherman Financial Group, a debt collector; and discontinued some practices that it had adopted during the housing bubble such as writing insurance on pools of mortgages. By 2013 MGIC had sufficiently stabilized its capital position to focus again on business growth, and in 2018 New MGIC resumed underwriting. Headquarters MGIC's four-story headquarters is located at 250 Kilbourn Avenue in downtown Milwaukee. The building was designed in an inverted pyramid shape by Fitzhug Scott-Architects, Inc. and Skidmore, Owings & Merrill and was completed in 1973. The building was extensively renovated by Eppstein Uhen Architects and Hunzinger Construction in 2019. Community service MGIC supports many community organizations through donations and volunteering. They currently have programs and campaigns supporting United Way, Junior Achievement, United Performing Arts Fund, Milwaukee Public Television, Habitat for Humanity, Secure Futures and many other nonprofit organizations. Honors Mortgage Guaranty Insurance Corporation has been named a "Top Workplace" by the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel every year since 2010. In 2015, MGIC was one of the winners of the Healthiest Employers awarded by the Milwaukee Business Journal. MGIC received a 2018 Platinum WELCOA Well Workplace Award.
