More about the book
The book delves into the historical significance of Bay View, a company town established for the Milwaukee Iron Company in 1867. It highlights the town's origins, including the influence of Mrs. William Durfee, and its evolution from incorporation as a village in 1879 to its eventual annexation by Milwaukee. Despite the closure of the steel mill in 1929 and its demolition a decade later, Bay View's legacy as Wisconsin's first company town endures, particularly through the preservation efforts of the Bay View National Historic District established in 1982.
