Historic Designation for Milwaukee Auditorium and UWM Panther Arena
Committee voted 4-1 to recommend historic landmark designation for the Milwaukee Auditorium (Miller High Life Theater, built 1909) and UWM Panther Arena (built 1950) at 412-500 W Kilbourn Avenue. The Historic Preservation Commission unanimously found the buildings met five criteria: exemplification of cultural/economic/social heritage, site of significant historic event (Theodore Roosevelt's 1912 speech after being shot), distinguishing architectural characteristics (neoclassical Beaux Arts and international styles), work of master architects (Ferry and Klass, Eschweiler and Eschweiler), and unique visual feature of the civic center. Wisconsin Center District opposed designation citing future maintenance costs and potential development constraints.
- Designation triggers review process for any future demolition or exterior modifications but does not prevent demolition.
