Art Map: Pabst Around Milwaukee PABST MANSION The home of Captain Frederick Pabst and his wife Maria was built between 1890-1892 on the former Grand Avenue (now Wisconsin Avenue), Milwaukee's premier residential street in the late 19th century. Designed by Milwaukee architectural firm Ferry & Clas, the Flemish Renaissance Revival mansion was completed at the cost of just over $254,000, including the house, furnishings, and artwork. After the deaths of Captain and Mrs. Pabst, the Roman Catholic Archdiocese purchased the home in 1908 and maintained residence there for sixty-seven years.
