“For and in consideration of parental love and affection and One Dollar,” Patrick and Anna Cudahy deeded three lots in Milwaukee’s Prospect Hill subdivision to their daughter, Mary C. Dahlman.

An elegant Georgian Revival house built on these lots by Mary C. and Louis A. Dahlman is now the venue for the 2009 Wisconsin Breast Cancer Showhouse. The 6,538 square foot house, built in 1912 at a cost of $15,000, was designed by noted Milwaukee architects Cornelius Leenhouts and Hugh Guthrie. Its three-story brick structure features symmetrical composition, peaked gable roofs, tall chimney stacks, and a Palladian window over the classic portico front entryway.

The inviting vestibule draws the eye to the quarter sawn oak staircase leading to a spectacular stained glass window of a Greek temple arch and an Irish church ruin on the foyer landing. The exquisite Swans painting by German artist Arthur Illies graces the second floor hallway. The dining room’s four-and-one-half foot paneled wainscoting and the original oak china cabinet with its round-arched leaded glass doors are superb examples of Georgian interior detail. The butler’s pantry sink of “German Silver” (a mixture of nickel, copper and zinc), the intricate dentil crown moldings in the foyer and living room, and the original bird’s eye maple floor on the third level add to the home’s classic charm and elegance. The updated kitchen is a gourmet cook’s dream.

The house recently incurred water damage necessitating restoration of parts of the first and second floors. Many of the original trims were saved and painstakingly reinstalled with the original floor plan remaining unchanged. Using both the old and new architectural elements of the home, the 57-member design team, including several students, have transformed 29 spaces in the Showhouse with their design inspirations ranging from classic to modern.

A highlight of the east side exterior is the beautiful terrace of bluestone and brick where guests visiting our 2009 Showhouse can relax and enjoy the charming garden before shopping at the popular Showhouse Boutique.
