National Home for Disabled Volunteer Soldiers
E.T. Mix designed the original building of the National Soldiers Home in 1867. At the time the structure was dedicated on 28 September 1867, the wings had not been built. When the wings were completed nine years later, they differed markedly from Mix's conceptions. The wording in the margins appeared almost verbatim in an article about the institution in the Milwaukee Sentinel (30 April 1867). A flag is on top of the building. Two cannons, many people, and two horse-drawn vehicles are scattered about the grounds. |
