Lloyd Street Grounds was a baseball park located in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. It was used by two different professional baseball clubs during 1895–1903. The field was situated about one mile northwest of downtown Milwaukee in the eastern part of a block bounded by West North Avenue on the north, North 16th Street on the east, North 18th Street on the west and West Lloyd Street on the south. The field faced due north, so Lloyd Street ran directly behind home plate and the grandstand.

The Lutheran High School of Milwaukee was a Lutheran high school operated by congregations of the Missouri and Wisconsin synods in the Milwaukee, Wisconsin, area from 1903 to 1955. Started in an unused classroom of Immanuel Lutheran School with 18 students, it moved in 1904 to the former site of the Wisconsin Synod's seminary at 13th and Vine streets. Enrollment increased to 340 in 1929 and led to construction of additional buildings at the site. The Great Depression caused enrollment to decline to 265 in 1938, but with the end of the depression, enrollment steadily increased to 848 in 1948. Plans were initiated to build a larger school at a new site, but doctrinal differences between the two synods resulted in the decision for each synod to build its own separate high school and dissolve the joint operation. The Missouri Synod congregations opened Milwaukee Lutheran High School in September 1955, while the Wisconsin Synod congregations used the old campus for their school, Wisconsin Lutheran High School, until their new building opened in September 1959. The enrollment in the final year of joint operation, 1954–1955, was over 1,100. Both of the successor schools consider 1903 to be their founding date.

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.
