City of Milwaukee hopes to find buyers for several historic homes

The City of Milwaukee currently owns several historic homes and is offering them for sale to the right owner. If you love the scale, details and craftsmanship of an historic home and love to renovate, we may have the perfect house for you. As a bonus, many of the homes listed have had extensive exterior repairs such as new roofs, chimneys and siding. These repairs will make the remaining renovations manageable and the whole project more affordable. Most of these properties may qualify for Wisconsin Historic Home Owner’s Tax Credits.
