Brumder Mansion B&B


  • Inn Details

    George Brumder, a prominent Milwaukee business leader, built this majestic brick home in 1910 for his eldest son. Designed in the English Arts and Crafts style, it blends Victorian, Gothic, and Arts and Crafts elements. All common rooms contain massive oak fireplaces, exquisite woodwork, and beautiful antiques. The formality of the interior contrasts with the home's relaxed, friendly atmosphere and the warmth of your host, Carol Hirschi. The home's lower level contains a small theatre which is home to professional productions and acting classes. I invite guests to join me in the audience. Close to Interstate 94 and downtown, the Mansion offers easy access to festivals, museums, State Fair Park, Miller Stadium, Marquette Universiy, shopping, and dozens of restaurants. You'll stay in a comfortable, urban, multi-cultural Historic District surrounded by grand Victorian homes and historic buildings.

    This was a beautiful house that was very comfortable and very well maintained. The breakfast was excellent and we even got a private tour from the owner. We would definitely stay here again!

    Brumder Mansion provided my husband and I with a very beautiful, relaxing get away! The living room, library, foyer and dining room provide many things to explore and places to read, relax and talk. Our suite very large with fabulous painted walls and ceilings, and we definitely in another world. Breakfasts were delicious and set to our schedule. We definitely recommend this a lovely place to stay when visiting Milwaukee.

    Impressive updates have been made to this brilliant piece of Milwaukee history. The innkeeper surprised us everyday with unique, gourmet breakfasts. The rooms are comfortable and spacious. The parking lot is much closer than you find with standard hotels and the neighborhood is very historic.
