Map of Erbacher & Gottschalks’ Subdivision No. 1
$150.00
Real estate map for some tantalizing property next to a glue factory south of Milwaukee!
Description
Do you dream of owning a piece of lakefront property with convenient access to transit in a mixed use neighborhood? If so, this map may be for you! Issued circa 1907 by enterprising real estate developers in Milwaukee, the sheet shows numbered plots available for sale adjacent to Lake Michigan, south of downtown. A scenic view in the upper left gives you a glimpse of the beauty to be experienced.
Don’t mind the foul and intoxicating odors from your neighbors, the Lakeside Distilling Company and the United States Glue Company. The freight trains also shouldn’t be too loud as they haul tons of material along the six nearby tracks, presumably at all hours.
