Additional Information: | Locally designated district: 7/12/1983. Milwaukee beer baron Frederick Pabst gave this Gothic influenced mansion to his daughter Marie as a wedding present. The Goodrich House’s ornate facade gleams with sheet-metal and terracotta. Atop the house, spiky towers bristle with crockets and pinnacles. The builder was August Holstein. The mansion's interior is finished with finely crafted Gothic Revival woodwork. The brass chandelier Pabst gave to his daughter and new son-in-law, inscribed "Abandon all cares ye who enter here --Frederick Pabst, 1892," remains intact. Pabst turned to his corporate architect Otto Strack, born and schooled in Germany, for this design. Strack designed taverns and factory buildings for the Pabst Brewing Company, winning acclaim for his Gothic, Renaissance, and Baroque revival renditions, and the Pabst Theater (MI027). |
