East Side Terra Cotta

Come along on a walking tour with artist, historian and teacher, Ben Tyjeski, about architectural terra cotta and tile. He’ll share his love for fired earth as you explore the East Side to see how architectural ceramics decorated warehouses, business buildings, and apartment buildings in the 1920s and 30s. Many of these structures are the best works from Martin Tullgren & Sons, including the Bertelson Building and the Milwaukee-Western Fuel Company office.
