| Additional Comments | The Radakovich's came to Milwaukee in 1912. They were initially supposed to travel on the Titanic but couldn't because of lack of space. They were married in 1914 and became citizen's in 1916. They converted their first house, on 3rd St., into a church and the congregation eventually became St. Sava Serbian Orthodox Cathedral. Milan held a series of jobs. He worked for a railroad and then as a laborer in a meat-packing plant. As of 1930, he sold real estate. By 1936, he was an insurance solicitor. He finally worked as a saloon keeper for 26 years. The saloon was located at 1603 W. Bruce St. He retired in 1962. He also was the president and treasurer of St. Sava's and served on the Diocesan Board for 10 years. He was the chairman of the building committee when Serb Hall was constructed. During both World Wars, he served as the president of the Serb National Defense Council. For his efforts, he received the order of St. Sava 5th Degree from King Peter II of Yugoslavia. He was also awarded the Order of St. Joanikije, the highest decoration awarded to a layman in the Serbian Orthodox Church. He was a cantor of his church for 70 years. He also was the president and treasurer of the local Jedinstvo Lodge 99. In 1973, he was named the National Serbian Federation Man of the Year. He also was the first president of the St. Sava Senior Citizen Club. He died on 12/2/1984 at the age of 91. Pava died on 12/18/1958 at the age of 65. Milan sold the house on 8/12/1960, to Alfred A. and Martha J. Anderson for $36, 722. He founded the A.A. Anderson Co. at 3616 W. Vliet. In 1967, the Anderson's added a screen porch to the north side of the house and in 1976 they turned two rooms and a central hall on the second floor into a library. In 1987, the Anderson's sold the house to the Gazzana's for $149,900. Nancy is a former art teacher and Tom works at Children's Hospital Health Systems. In 1990, they removed a wall that divided the kitchen and family room and in 2001 they added a sunroom to the north side of the house. |
