The Highland Avenue Methodist Church in Milwaukee, Wisconsin is a Gothic Revival-styled church built in 1891 by Milwaukee's first German Methodist congregation. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.The congregation, founded in 1846, was the first German Methodist congregation in the state of Wisconsin, and the mother-church of that denomination in the state. The German Methodists in America were organized in a separate conference from the English-speaking Methodists until the two groups combined in 1933. The congregation built church buildings on North 5th Street in 1848 and West Juneau and 11th in 1872.In 1896 the congregation built this church at Highland Avenue. Charles Crane and Carl Barkhausen designed the building in a German Gothic style, with a cross-shaped footprint, and a square corner tower. Walls are brick with corbeling and other decoration formed from brick and terra cotta. At the center of the main facade is a large arch containing various stained glass windows. The steeple on the tower transitions in an interesting way from a square tower to an octagonal spire. Inside, the lectern, table and choir are on a raised dais in the corner, with the pews arranged around it in concentric arcs.When the Highland Ave. church was built in 1891, the congregation was changing from German to English services. The whole German Methodist conference merged with other U.S. Methodists in 1933. The Highland Avenue congregation dissolved in the 1960s. After that a black congregation moved into the building, then the Church for All People, then the Solomon Community Temple, and as of 2019 the Rehoboth New Life Center.The church building is the only one known to have been designed by the Milwaukee architectural firm Crane and Barkhausen, which specialized in schools and residences. It was placed on the NRHP as an important example of German Gothic style and because of its connection to the mother congregation of German Methodism in the state.

The Second Church of Christ, Scientist is a historic Neoclassical-styled church built in 1913 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.It was in 1866 that Mary Baker Eddy slipped on the ice and hurt her back, then experienced a remarkable recovery without medical help, which prompted her ideas of metaphysical healing. In 1876 she established the first Christian Scientist Association in Lynn, Massachusetts. In 1879 she established the Mother Church in Boston. In 1884 a Christian Science Association was established in Milwaukee, the first such association outside Massachusetts.After years of renames, splits, mergers, and moves, in 1909 one of the spinoff congregations incorporated as Second Church of Christ, Scientist, Milwaukee. They initially met at Plankinton Hall of the Milwaukee Auditorium, but in 1914 moved to their new church, the subject of this article.Architect Carl Barkhausen of Milwaukee somewhat modeled the 1914 church on the Pantheon in Rome, which was built 2000 years ago. The front entrance is through a two-story portico with six fluted Corinthian columns supporting a pediment in which the tympanum is decorated with terra cotta. Inside the portico is a vestibule, and behind that the main auditorium. That auditorium has a pulpit and organ in an apse in the wall, with pews circled around, seating 1,450 people. The roof of the auditorium is a low dome topped with a copper roof lantern.The Christian Science Association that built the church eventually declined, and the building was occupied by St. Luke Emanuel Missionary Baptist Church.

The Grand Avenue Congregational Church is a historic Romanesque Revival church built in 1888 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.The congregation that became Grand Avenue Congregational split off in 1847 from First Presbyterian and First Congregational, calling itself Free Congregational. Abolition of slavery was a keen interest of the congregation at that time, along with education of women and temperance. The congregation first met in a rented building downtown on Broadway, moved to Spring Street in 1852, and Grand Avenue in 1881. In 1887 they decided to move again, to build at the current location on Wisconsin Ave.The congregation hired master architect E. Townsend Mix to design their new church. Mix's design is Romanesque Revival, with round arches and rough-cut stone contrasting with smooth brick and glass. Most of the rough stone is lower, to give a feel of stability. The floor-plan is in the form of a cross, and the roof-line is complex. However, going against typical Romanesque Revival church buildings, the front is symmetric, without a big dramatic tower on one side. Instead a large Diocletian window rises above the front door, and a small tower rises from each side gable. Inside, the large auditorium seated 1200.The new church was dedicated in May 1888. The back of the building was expanded in 1907, 1930 and 1935. The 1930 expansion was a choir loft designed by Van Ryn & DeGelleke.The congregation has a tradition of ecumenism. In 1902 it hosted a joint Thanksgiving service of Christians and Jews. In 1945 it held a joint service with St. Mark's African Methodist Church. In 1957 Martin Luther King Jr. spoke to a packed house about segregation, the importance of peace and love, and finding a solution to racial inequality.In 1996 the church's building was transferred to the Irish Cultural and Heritage Center. The congregation dissolved the following year.

The Thomas Cook House is a High Victorian Italianate-styled house built in 1875 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin by pioneer stone merchant Cook. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.In 1853 Thomas Cook began a limestone quarry business, supplying building materials for local construction. In 1860 he and Edwin Hyde formed the Cook and Hyde Stone Company, which over the years supplied stone for the Mackie Building, the Plankinton House Hotel, St. Paul's Episcopal Church, the Milwaukee Club, the Milwaukee Central Library, and Forest Home Cemetery Chapel, among others. Many of these projects were designed by E. Townsend Mix.Cook continued his association with Mix in this house, which he had built in 1875 as a double-house rental property. The building is 2.5 stories, on a foundation of rusticated block. Walls are cream brick. Some windows are topped with multi-colored arches, some are bays, one is lancet-arched. The roof is chalet-style, supported by scroll-sawn brackets and a sawtooth frieze board. The exterior has changed little from the time it was built.

St. George Melkite Catholic Church is a Melkite Greek Catholic Church, located in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1986. The church was built in 1917 to serve the needs of the Syrian-Lebanese community who migrated to Milwaukee after the Chicago World's Fair of 1892. It is the second oldest Melkite church in the United States.Syrian immigrants began to arrive in Milwaukee in 1895, settling in the neighborhood that surrounds the current church. Though many had grown up in the Melkite Greek Catholic Church, they didn't speak English or Latin, so weren't a fit for nearby Roman Catholic parishes. In 1911 Reverend Timothy Jock was assigned to the Syrians, holding services in a former dance hall.In 1915 the congregation began to worship in a house at 1615 West State. Shortly after, they began planning a new church. It was designed by architect Erhard Brielmaier with St. George Church of Ain-Berdel (also referred to as Ain-Borday and Ain-Bordal), Lebanon in mind. The resulting building is one story, with a gable roof and tall windows behind the facade that are conventional for a Wisconsin church. But the facade has a Byzantine flavor, with the shaped parapet wall and the three bulbous domes.
