- This program originally broadcast on Facebook Live on July 9th, 2020. Milwaukee architectural historian, John C. Eastberg takes you on a virtual, fast-paced historic stroll down what had been one of Milwaukee's most architecturally diverse avenues. Grand Avenue housed Milwaukee's wealthy West Siders, but Prospect Avenue was equally grand and featured lake views! You will be amazed as we journey along this avenue, once densely built with beautiful residences that gave way in the 20th century to a street lined with lofty apartment buildings.
Great video. Learned a lot about my old hometown.
I was born in Milwaukee, but only lived there until I was 2 years old. I never knew Milwaukee had such glorious homes and buildings. It is an abomination that these beautiful homes were not kept up, valued and were allowed to go into disrepair due to neglect or greed. The buildings that were put up after these glorious homes were tragically destroyed were and still are ugly, cold and an abomination to the city's more beautiful past. All of those 'modern' reset replacement apartments and buildings look like they belong in the old East Germany occupied and ruled by the communists. I know, because I was there in the 1970's visiting relatives. The new buildings may be called progress by some, but it sure seem to me that modern styles are hidious and only lead to a decay of society. Very sad to see such beauty being torn down to be replaced with ugly.
ya know the christians always say, if I can save one soul..its worth it. well you intertained and informed the hell out of me. thank you.
highly unusual to see High quality photographs of these buildings but no photographs of them being built....
They were found aka “founded” lol..u ever wonder why churches say when they were founded not built?? They inherited this stuff, there was a reset
@@trapmichaelmoore1105 Lots of convenient 'fires' throughout history as well. It's 2023 and thoughts of Paradise, CA and now Lahaina, Maui and so many others come to mind. Lots of 'great' fires all over the world...to build back better I guess...for the Great' reset.
Whackadoodle 🙄 @@trapmichaelmoore1105
Were there homes in Juneau Park before that were torn down or moved?
I would guess there would have been single story wooden homes in Juno park but I think those weee cleared for the park it is now. Saw old photo
What a shame that so many had been torn down.
Nice video and information, but the "uhms" were a bit distracting.
A lot distracting.
