Louis Kindling mit einer seiner Strassenwaschmachinen ...

Louis Kindling is perched on his Henschl made street sweeper. He worked with an Alderman Koenig to import and sell the new devices to the city of Milwaukee. A test of the machine's effectiveness was conducted on Grand Avenue between 5th Street and the Milwaukee River bridge.

Pictures of Louis Kindling's home are found at the link below.

The family is well-represented in the local German-American papers. It's even reported that Louis made over 50 trips back to a town near Berlin to visit his mother, the 51st trip when she was 99 years old!

Schule der Gnaden-Gemeinde ...

Grace Ev. Lutheran Church had a charming school built in 1894 before the original church building on N. Broadway and E. Juneau Ave. was replaced in 1900. The school was built as pictured here, but the ornamented front did not face the street; historic photos don't do justice to what the architect designed.
The school is long gone, the second church ... altered. Historic photos are found in the mpl.org digital collection ... a link below.
