Photos by Blackstone1955: on the map, in Google Earth (KML)

I found this very small picture of the Fairview Mausoleum in the R.M.S. Titanic Archive. It appears that some of the victims of the Titanic sinking were buried in the Fairview Mausoleum but were moved along with the 1000 other remains to the Graceland Cemetery in 1995.

This is the best picture I have found so far but I have seen interior photos published in the local Milwaukee Journal or Sentinel newspapers back in 1995 when the Fairview Mausoleum was demolished.

Once upon a time there was a really creepy place known as the Fairview Mausoleum... It was like out of a horror movie but today this plaque appears to be all that remains. Even the "remains" are gone, removed to a nearby cemetery.

On this site once was located the Fairview Mausoleum. It was torn down in 1995 and now this super de luxe Fire Station sits in it's place.

The interior of the dark granite stone mausoleum was a two story atrium lit by a skylight with individual crypts on either side.

Sitting smack dab in a middle class residential neighborhood, the Fairview Mausoleum was an abandoned ruin that still contained over 1000 bodies just before it was vacated and demolished in 1995. It had fallen into a state of disrepair and become a spooky hangout for kids and adults.

The Fairview Mausoleum in Milwaukee was demolished in 1995.

This building was originally a retirement home for nuns and part of a convent. Now it is part of a sprawling apartment complex and sits mostly empty.

The red brick apartment building on the left was once a separate building from the red brick building on the right that was originally built to house retired nuns. The roundish looking gray building in the back center was originally a Best Western Hotel. All three of the buildings were linked together by the one story red brick structure at the back of the courtyard and for a while it was a convent and retirement home for nuns. It slowly became vacant as the nuns died off and then was gradually converted to spacious and comfortable apartments. Much of the interior of the hotel and the convent is still purposed as empty offices, vacant meeting rooms, banqueting and dining halls. I suppose somewhere in there is a large industrial sized kitchen or two.

This is one of the rare survivors from Milwaukee's Gilded Age, when the Yankee Hill neighborhood was the home of many wealthy families who built stylish mansions to show off their new social standing. This once gracious home is now a suite of offices. A major amount of work has been done to remove the high maintenance main roof and the tower roof. The original roof was probably very Victorian and elaborate with a cast iron widow's walk. Most of these "mansions" fell into disrepair when the money ran out or the family married out and moved on. They were usually divided up unto apartments and offices and even coin laundries. Some burned down but many were ripped down for the land to build the Juneau Village apartment complex.
