Frank Lloyd Wright's Burnham Block — Local services in Milwaukee

We stayed there 4 nights on a recent trip to visit family in Milwaukee. What a unique experience !!! Great place to stay. Large home with sleeping to accommodate up to 9 people. Full size kitchen with everything you could need to cook or entertain if you wished to do so. WiFi, tv, even movies to watch and games to play. Also ,3 bathrooms. This is one of 6 Frank Lloyd Wright homes on the Burnham Block in Milwaukee. One home is a Museum. The others are being restored. The Museum does offer tours and lots of info on these homes. A great history experience and very convenient location. Less expensive than decent hotels with lots of privacy. It is an experience that should not be missed. We loved it ! Awesome !!! So glad the Milwaukee Historical Society is involved in helping to save this bit of history !!! I lived in that area many years ago and remember how sad looking those homes were. Everyone involved with the restorations should be very proud of what they have done and continue to do...

My mom and I were on a weekend girls trip from Minneapolis and this was a must see for us. The tour guide was so friendly, knowledgeable and clearly passionate about the organizations efforts to restore these homes to their original glory. They have a ways to go but with the help of fundraising & the tours, they will get there. So cool to see the homes in person and get to go into a few of them. One major suggestions to help raise more funds is to have water available for those there for the tour. We were there on Saturday July 13th and it was incredibly hot & we forgot out waters at the hotel so we were very thirsty and would have gladly paid a good amount for bottled water. you could put it in a cooler outside of the done home on the deck. Easy $ to help the cause! Otherwise, fantastic tour & cant wait to visit again once the other homes are restored if they open those to the public as well...

Interesting location, the Burnham Block homes were affordable housing for working class people meant to compete with Sears Catalog houses. The “American System” featured factory built parts that were then assembled on site to reduce cost and decrease construction time. Only six of a planned 25 homes were built when the local developer backed out of the project. After being mostly forgotten and neglected non-profit groups began purchasing and...
