My grandmother, Isabel Burg-Christopherson, moved to Milwaukee from Lena when she was a young woman to find work. She was a nanny/housekeeper at this house on Lake Drive for the Kopmeier family in the 1920s. My sister sent me the picture and I was able to find the house again as the address has changed from a Milwaukee address to Shorewood. The pillar in front of the house shows the original address still etched in the concrete.
This is the house as of today. Hasn't changed much on the exterior. I wish I could talk to my grandma now and have her tell me about the time she spent here. She ended up moving back to Lena where she met and married my grandfather. Thus my existence...
