Located in downtown Milwaukee and completed in 1897, the Pabst Mansion was built for former sea captain and beer baron Frederick Pabst. It is considered the finest Flemish Renaissance Revival Mansion in America. The mansion has 37 room, 12 baths and 14 fireplaces. It was one of the finest homes built on what was once called Grand Avenue. In the early 1900's there were over 63 mansion gracing the Avenue, today only 2 exist.
Unfortunately you are not allowed to take pictures of the inside, especially of the wooden, carved staircase that has such detail and character.
The mansion is still being restored so not all of it is open to the public, but that should not stop you from visiting this beautiful, historic home museum.
