Notes
  • Significance: Governor's Residence is thought to have been built in 1868-69 and designed by prominent Milwaukee architect Edward Townsend Mix, concurrent with construction of the Main Building. It housed the Governor for the Northwestern Branch of the National Asylum for Disabled Volunteer Soldiers (renamed National Home for Disabled Volunteer Soldiers in 1873). This new federal institution was authorized by Congress in 1865 and charged with caring for Civil War veterans disabled by their military service. The original design for the Soldiers' Home Governor's Residence was an Italianate Villa with a corner tower. The house was expanded during the 1890s and the new roofline and gables gave it a Queen Anne appearance. The house still serves as a residence for the Director of the Zablocki Veterans Affairs Medical Center.
