The Washington Highlands Historic District is located in Wauwatosa, Wisconsin. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.
History
The land the district now sits on was once owned by Frederick Pabst, the founder of Pabst Brewing Company. After Pabst's death, the land was platted for subdivisions. In 1916, Werner Hegemann and his firm designed the neighborhood that would become the district. The district was designated a Wauwatosa Landmark in 1991. The Washington Highlands has a rich history and is known for its large, unique, and stately homes. The Historic District is bordered by 68th Street, 60th Street, Milwaukee Avenue, and Lloyd Street.
