In 1892, the Flemish Renaissance Revival Mansion of Captain Frederick
Pabst, world famous beer baron, accomplished sea captain, real
estate developer, philanthropist and patron of the arts, was completed.
From the day the house was inhabited, it was considered the jewel
of Milwaukee's famous avenue of mansions called Grand Avenue and
represented the epitome of America's Gilded Age Splendor in Milwaukee.
The Pabst Mansion is a testament to Pabst's success, his love
of life and his German heritage. Boasting stunning interiors,
elegant original furnishings, elaborate wall coverings, the finest
wood craftsmanship, intricate ironwork, brilliant stained glass,
and rare art, the Mansion helped make the 1890's the "Pabst
Decade" in Milwaukee.
