Dr. Fisk Holbrook Day House, Victorian residence in Wauwatosa, United States
The brick mansion at 8000 West Milwaukee Avenue features a mansard roof, Gothic gables, and a three-story central tower with ornate trim.
Doctor Fisk Holbrook Day, a physician and amateur geologist, commissioned architect James Douglas to construct this residence in 1874.
The building incorporates Second Empire, Italianate, and Gothic Revival elements, representing the architectural diversity of nineteenth-century American residential design.
