Yankee Hill

Yankee Hill makes other grand Milwaukee [1] neighborhoods appear raffish. This grande dame enclave arose north of East Mason Street to East Ogden Avenue and west off the lakefront to North Jackson Street.

Originally owned by Milwaukee’s first resident, Solomon Juneau, this became the city’s center of government, finance, and business. Find oodles of churches as well as examples of Victorian Gothic, Italianate, and every other 19th-century architectural predilection.
