The front of the Jenkins Austin Day Mansion. Kyle Duesing A Victorian mansion built in 1874 in Wauwatosa, Wisconsin, hit the market in July for $1.5 million. Despite having the costliest price tag in the city's history, according to its listing agent, the property was scooped up by a buyer only days later — but not before giving curious onlookers a peek inside. The 19th-century home, nicknamed the Jenkins Austin Day Mansion, is a landmark in Wauwatosa, a town just seven miles outside of Milwaukee, and is even on the National Register of Historic Places .
