| Additional Information: | A 'site file' (Green Bay Road Historic District) exists for this property. It contains additional information such as correspondence, newspaper clippings, or historical information. It is a public record and may be viewed in person at the Wisconsin Historical Society, Division of Historic Preservation-Public History. This residence was erected by Andrew Hilger in circa 1903. Hilger was born in Milwaukee and then lived for a time in Macon, Georgia. He came to Thiensville in 1868 and established a small tin and coal shop at the present-day location of 136 Green Bay Road. In 1873, he purchased an existing tin shop next door at 161 Green Bay Road from a Mr. Lukian. In 1895, Hilger put a new front on the existing store, enlarged it and reportedly added a portion of the original Rosenthal home from across the street. Hilger's three sons ran the business into at least the 1940s and the home is believed to have been retained by the Hilger family until then as well. |
