The Pabst Mansion, one of Milwaukee, Wisconsin's most notable landmarks. Once the home to Captain Frederick Pabst, founder of the Pabst Brewing Company, who commissioned Milwaukee architect George Bowman Ferry to design a mansion in the Flemish Renaissance Revival style. The Pabst family lived at the mansion from the date of its completion in 1892 until 1908, when the Archdiocese of Milwaukee purchased the house. For the next 67 years, five archbishops as well as many other Catholic priests and sisters lived in the building. In 1975 the Archdiocese put the mansion up for sale, with the hope that a historic preservation group would purchase it and restore it to its former glory. In 1978, Wisconsin Heritages, Inc., bought the mansion, opening it to public tours. Photo by Carol Highsmith.
