Milwaukee’s Cobbler’s Mansion is a delicious opportunity for a hungry shopper

Built in 1891, the red brick mansion is located in the Concordia District, a neighborhood 2 miles west of downtown also known as the Bed-and-Breakfast District.

The German Renaissance architectural style pays homage to Milwaukee’s late 19th-century German immigrants. The manor house served as a family home from 1891 to 1924 and has been converted into apartments over the decades.

Today there are four themed suites and three guest bedrooms – all but two are ensuite. There is also the owner’s quarters, a kitchen for preparing guests’ breakfasts and a two car garage.

Original hardwood floors, sliding doors, high ceilings and woodwork add period charm, while a conservatory, drawing rooms, library and formal dining room provide ample space for guests to spread out.

Laura Sue, who hosts afternoon tea for guests and non-guests alike, “dresses in period costume,” says Ferlindes, “and spends time going through the history of tea. It is truly a wealth of information about the family (who first lived in the home) and the city of Milwaukee.”
