    Marquette University e-Publications@Marquette History Faculty Research and Publications History, Department of 1-1-2018 Germans Alison Clark Efford Marquette University, [email protected] Published version. "Germans," from Encyclopedia of Milwaukee. Eds. Amanda Seligman, Margo Anderson, James Marten and Thomas Jablonsky. Milwaukee WI: University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee, 2018. Permalink. © 2018 University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee. Used with permission. Some images have been removed from this chapter due to third-party copyright restrictions. Germans Milwaukee is the most German of major American cities, and Germans have constituted Milwaukee’s largest immigrant group.1 The city’s brewing industry, tradition of ethnic festivals, built environment, and history of working-class politics all display the influence of the German immigrants who arrived in especially large numbers during the half-century following 1850. As the number of newcomers began to decline in the early twentieth century, almost half of city of Milwaukee residents reported that they, or their parents, had been born in Germany.2 The very scale of German migration makes it difficult to generalize about the characteristics and contributions of the immigrants and their descendants. German Americans settled in urban and rural areas, worked in various jobs, held a range of religious beliefs, and supported different political parties. In fact, until Germany unified in 1871, they came from distinct European countries. (The statistics in this entry include only individuals born in the territory that became the German Empire, but the text also refers to German-speakers from Luxembourg, Switzerland, and Austria-Hungary.) Despite the differences among them, German immigrants participated in a common German-language debate over public issues and shared the benefits of being designated white.

After all, she spent years of her life exploring the Town of Milwaukee Union Cemetery, tucked away north of Bayshore Mall in Whitefish Bay. She remembered running through the cemetery as a girl "to scare ourselves on Halloween". Years later, as a neighbor and a historian, she began tending the little cemetery and quite literally, uncovering its history. Bird died of emphysema Thursday at the Glendale condominium she called home the last four years. She was 69. "She really died from cigarette smoking" said husband John D. Bird. "That's what did it." She was born Miriam Young in Milwaukee. When she was 4, her parents moved to Whitefish Bay. That was where she grew up and spent her adult life. It was also where she became the undisputed expert on local history, both in the village and the greater North Shore area. In her earlier years Bird had worked as a secretary. She met her husband when their mothers—concerned about their two twenty-something children remaining unmarried—managed to fix them up for a date.

    Annual Report on the Economic Impact of the Federal Historic Tax Credit for FY 2018 National Park Service U.S. Department of the Interior Technical Preservation Services Jack Tar Motor Lodge, Durham, North Carolina. Photo: Andrew Cebulka Pier 2, Fort Mason, San Francisco, California. L. N. Gross Company, Kent, Ohio. Photo: Bruce Damont Photo: Diana Wellman The executive summary is based on the findings of a National Park Service-funded study undertaken through a cooperative agreement with Rutgers University’s Center for Urban Policy Research. Rutgers University is responsible for the content of the study. Some additional demographic analysis was provided courtesy of PolicyMap. The National Trust for Historic Preservation assisted the National Park Service in the preparation of the case studies. September 2019 A Message from the National Park Service Beyond the National Park System, the National Park Service (NPS) through its Cultural Resources, Partnerships, and Science programs is part of a national preservation partnership working to promote the preservation of historic resources in communities small and large throughout the country. For the past 41 years the NPS, in partnership with the State Historic Preservation Offices, has administered the Federal Historic Preservation Tax Incentives Program. The program provides a 20-percent Federal tax credit to property owners who undertake a substantial rehabilitation of a historic building in a business or income-producing use while maintaining its historic character. Commonly referred to as the Historic Tax Credit (HTC), the HTC is designed to not only preserve and rehabili- tate historic buildings, but to also promote the economic revitalization of older communities in the nation’s cities and towns, along Main Streets, and in rural areas.
