More about the book
The historical evolution of Lake, established in 1838, reflects its transformation from a vibrant township into parts of Milwaukee and neighboring communities by 1954. Key landmarks such as St. Francis Seminary, the Airway Theater, and various bakeries highlight its unique cultural and economic significance. The area's development, driven by urbanization, saw the loss of its farmland, while notable sites like the lakeside tree and landmark water tower remain as reminders of its rich heritage within Milwaukee County.
