Description: The Wisconsin Club in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, was originally the mansion of Alexander Mitchell. His first residence on this site, on Grand Avenue between 9th and 10th Streets, was built in 1848, and he had it remodeled by E. Townsend Mix in 1873. After Mitchell's death in 1887, the house stood empty until it was purchased by the Deutscher Club in 1898. Responding to anti-German sentiment during World War I, the name was changed to the Wisconsin Club.
