Walker's Point Historic District, Historic district in Walker's Point, Milwaukee, United States.
The district contains residential and commercial buildings from 1849 onwards, including former factories, breweries, churches, and workers' cottages along the streets.
George Walker established a trading post on 160 acres in 1833, forming one of the three original settlements that would later become part of Milwaukee.
German, Scandinavian, Irish, and Polish immigrants shaped the neighborhood through their architectural preferences, religious buildings, and social gathering places.
The district extends between the Freeway, Menomonee Canal, Scott Street, 2nd Street, and West Virginia Street, featuring preserved 19th-century architecture.
The Philip Best Brewery, which later became Pabst, and the Pfister and Vogel Tannery complex represent the industrial heritage within the district.
