NOTES
Additional Information:The Milwaukee County Parks Central Service Department constructed a combined garage and office building in 1936 near the developing Upper Menomonee River Parkway, Lower Menomonee River Parkway, Underwood Creek Parkway, and Honey Creek Parkway in Wauwatosa. The site also included three Quonset hut style buildings that were added to the service complex in 1948. The garage and service department building had a large addition in the rear, joining two existing buildings, in 1955. A small Service Department office was also constructed on the site in 1957. The facility is now referred to as a Milwaukee County Parks Maintenance Facility and serves as a repair garage.
