The Milwaukee County School of Agriculture and Domestic Economy Historic District is the building complex of an agriculture school started in 1912 in Wauwatosa, Wisconsin, when farming was a big part of Milwaukee County's economy. In 1998 the complex was listed on the National Register of Historic Places. [2]
The district was a high school campus from 1912 to 1928, [3] aiming to train young farmers, rather than have them quit school after 6th grade. It was the third such agriculture-focused high school in the state, following similar schools in Dunn and Marathon counties, and it was probably the largest. [2]
Alexander C. Eschweiler designed its buildings. There are five buildings, all with walls of red brick:
