Building Description
Featured in the Milwaukee neighborhood poster series, The North Milwaukee Village Hall and Fire Station was built in 1901, and designed by architects Leenhouts and Guthrie. The impressive building served as the all-in-one municipal building for North Milwaukee, housing the volunteer fire department, police department, library and offices for elected officials.
While the building has been vacant for several years, Quasimondo Physical Theatre is in the process of renovating this historic landmark into a center for arts and education on Milwaukee’s northwest side – the North Milwaukee Arthaus. Visitors are invited to join Executive Director, Brian Rott, in an exclusive tour revealing the history and future of this unique local landmark.
Please note that the building is in the process of undergoing renovations and is largely raw and unfinished.
Visitor Experience
The North Milwaukee Arthaus will be open from 10 am to 5 pm on Saturday, with guided tours (20 minutes long) at 11am, 1pm and 3pm.
