The Juneau Highlands Residential Historic District is a historic neighborhood in West Allis, Wisconsin, with contributing homes built from 1928 to 1952. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2011.[1]
History[edit]
The neighborhood was built after the industrial boom following the move of what would become Allis-Chalmers to West Allis, with contributing homes built from 1928 to 1952.[2] Contributing homes include, roughly in the order built:
- The Lajsich home at 2151 S. Livingston Terrace is a 1928 bungalow with hip roof.[3]
- The Hundly house at 2133 S. Livingston Terrace is a hip-roofed brick-clad bungalow built in 1928.[4]
- The Galle house at 2169 S. Livingston Terrace is another 1928 bungalow, this one with clipped gables and probably built by Val. Nitzsche Jr.[5]

- The Dwyer-McMicken duplex at 6600-6602 W. Grant Street is 2-story brick-clad cube with a hip roof, built by the Dwyer-McMicken Building Company in 1944.[21]
- The Sundberg duplex at 6642-6644 Revere Place is a 2-story brick-clad duplex built in 1952. Its brickwork at the corners suggests quoins.[22]
The neighborhood stands out for its curving streets, which contrast with the rectangular grid of the rest of the city.[2]
Most of the houses are in the period revival styles of the 1920s and 30s. None of the earlier architectural styles are present: no Gothic Revival, no Queen Anne, and not even a Prairie style house. Their complete absence in the district illustrates how rigidly residential architectural styles follow fashion.
