He moved to Milwaukee from Rome and paid $7,000 for the construction. Later, it housed The Association of Catholic Women and was used as their clubhouse and offices. The home was most recently owned by Leon Travanti, a retired UWM art professor, who is well-known locally for his Circus Parade posters.

Very nice place in an excellent location. 5 friends stayed for 4 nights at the Prospect Mansion. It was a great time and perfect for us. Very close to steps that lead to the lakefront, also very close to the free tram that goes to other parts of the city. The mansion is spacious and comfortable, great kitchen with 2 pantries. Beautiful woodwork everywhere and lots of artwork. A great find!

We came to Milwaukee for a family funeral. The accommodations and environment helped us through the weekend. We left Milwaukee with joy in our family's togetherness while at this house rather than sadness over our great loss.
Thank you.
