Property Features
Oswald Lupinski and Arthur C. Wolff were the builders.
Philip Koehring's Neo-Tudor residence was one of the last great houses built in Milwaukee. The dwelling features rock-faced, random-ashlar limestone walls, an elaborate round-arched front door surround, and a gray slate roof. Dramatic intricately carved, wooden bargeboard, trims the front elevation’s largest gable. Other features—a rambling layout, informal massing, leaded windows, and false-half-timbered front gables—convey the coziness of the Neo-Tudor style, popular in the 1920s.
Philip Koehring founded the Koehring Company, manufacturers of concrete-mixing equipment and locomotive cranes. When the Great Depression nearly ruined his business, Koehring committed suicide in 1931; the company later recovered.
