Alonzo Fowle, along with partners James McGee, Henry R. King, and a Mr. Lawton, was a printer in downtown Milwaukee during the late-1800s under the name King, Fowle, Lawton, and McGee Printing Company. Fowle, president of the Whitefish Bay Association, was heavily involved with early development in the village along Day Avenue, in the proposed Lawndale Residential Historic District. He built his own residence on Day Avenue in Whitefish Bay in 1892. Fowle also served as President of the Village of Whitefish Bay from 1906 to 1908.
