There are plenty of good reasons to preserve the former saloon building at 266 E. Erie St. in the Third Ward, which Milwaukee Preservation Alliance announced last week was gifted to them by owners General Capital Group and Joseph Property Development. But that doesn t mean it will be easy.
Pabst Mansion, Inc. has announced that it will submit an application for a Certificate of Appropriateness from the City of Milwaukee s Historic Preservation Commission to dismantle the structure in an attempt to preserve it for the future.
