Today’s Mystery photo is from way back in the summer of 1911 – nearly 100 years ago when the Saengerfest was in town. These decorated buildings were downtown and some may be familiar. Where was this week’s mystery picture taken?
Today’s mystery is a mystery to me but is someplace downtown. There is not much in the way of clues except for the river behind the building and a bridge adjacent. This could be on the east side of the river or the west but where exactly?
A new year and a new Monday Mystery. This old street view mystery is a picture from late 1957 somewhere downtown. Nino’s Steak Roundup offers charcoal broiled steaks fresh from the grill. Goldfish Uniforms is in the background. The buildings in the background remain although the Nino’s building and the one next to it are gone.

Here is a new Monday Mystery after a big holiday weekend. This week presents another mystery face on a downtown building. Which building does this bearded face reside?
I received this photo from Ed a while back and thought I’d post it as a Monday Mystery. The streetcar is obviously the #10 and I’d guess the time as the early 1950s or late 1940s after a big snow storm. This is looking south but that is about all I’ll say for now without making it too obvious. Any guesses for today’s mystery photo?
Here is another mystery face on a building near downtown. It is very memorable so if anyone has chanced to see it they should know where it is immediately. What is the guess for this week’s mystery?
Today’s belated Monday Mystery photo takes us away from downtown to the northwest side of the city. The Standard gas station on the northeast corner is Lynn’s Service. A tavern is on the northwest corner. Bus stops are on all corners. All buildings shown in this 1950s photo are still there.
Any ideas where this week’s mystery photo is located?
Here is a mystery building that was located in the heart of downtown up until about 1912. This picture was taken around 1905 and looks west. It once housed a well-known early day bookseller. What was the building and where was it located?
This view of 1940s Milwaukee is looking east and is on the edges of downtown. The Italianate building which is now demolished belonged to the English Woolen Mills and was a coat store. Most of the buildings in this area are now gone but some people may be able to ID the church in the background which is still there.
Here is an old photo of some mystery buildings that were located downtown. This is a view from the 1880s and shows an interesting gothic building. Where was this located?
