  • Juneau Town/East Town
    Approximate boundaries: N-E. Ogden Ave (partial) E. State St;S -E. Clybourn St; E-E-Lincoln Memorial Dr;W -Milwaukee River DOWNTOWN NEIGHBORHOOD DESCRIPTION East Town (also known as Juneau Town) is a densely populated neighborhood with a variety of housing styles. There are many 19th century houses in the Tudor, Queen Anne and Italianate styles integrated with multi-unit apartment buildings and newer condos. The neighborhood has some wide boulevards with green space in the medians. The streets generally follow a grid pattern; the exceptions to this are Water Street and Prospect Avenue. Water Street tracks the bend of the river and Prospect Avenue follows the curve of the bluff over Lake Michigan along Juneau Park. The topography is flat except for a hill that slopes down to the river beginning around Jefferson Street. Most of Juneau Park is in East Town. There are two monuments in Juneau Park--one is a statue of Solomon Juneau and the other of Leif Erikson. Cathedral Square is a small park in the center of the neighborhood and hosts numerous events throughout the year (see outings section and neighborhood photos below). HISTORY East Town owes its origins to Solomon Juneau. In the 1830s Juneau platted the village of Milwaukee and settled there. He began selling plots of land in what was becoming known as Juneau Town. He set the location for downtown when he and his wife Josette opened a trading post at today’s Water Street and Wisconsin Avenue. Juneau went on to become the first mayor of Milwaukee in 1846 and the city’s first postmaster.

Strauch landscape preceded in America only by Cincinnati's own had not intended to visit the "Metropolis of the West." But temporarily stranded in the strange city, he recalled having met a local resident, Robert Bonner Bowler, whose appreciation for fine picturesque designed landscapes, the jar din anjjlais, Strauch had helped heighten in 1851 while guiding Americans through the London Crystal Palace Exhibition and various notable English gardens. Strauch retrieved Bowler's calling card from his pockets and con- tacted the civic leader, who greeted him warmly and seized the opportunity not only to welcome the unexpect- ed visitor to Cincinnati but to persuade Strauch to cancel the rest of his travel plans. Wealthy Cincinnatians immediately recog- nized Strauch as a world-class designer and were intent on not losing him.
