ARCHITECTURAL SIGNIFICANCE: The Herman Buemming House is one of the city's fine examples of Neo-Classical designed residences. Small in scale the facade is dominated by an Ionic Order portico which exhibits exacting detail. The Buemmings lived here until 1911. Other notable owners of the home include Frances Stover, a reporter, feature writer, and art critic for the Milwaukee Journal; Clair Richardson, manager of the Skylight Theater; and Ron SanFelippo, who served on the city School Board and the Fire and Police Commissions. HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE: Herman Buemming was one of the city's leading Neo-Classical architects. Born in 1873 in Pittsburgh he studied under the eminent classical architect John Russel Pope (University Club) while at Columbia University. Before coming to Milwaukee he worked for the world-renowned firm of McKimm, Mead and White. While he was in Milwaukee, Buemming was in partnership with Gustave Dick and later reorganized in 1926 with Jahn until retiring in 1943. He died in 1947. |
