Whether it’s a tree-lined city street or a pastoral lane, there’s a rich assortment of homes that reflect the diversity of its residents, a mix of architectural flavors ranging from Gothic revival, Queen Anne and stick style, to federalist, Prairie style and “Milwaukee bungalow.” Although strikingly different in design and age, each plays an important role in the area’s residential landscape. “Individual houses provide a point of interest,” says Robert Greenstreet, an architect and dean of the School of Architecture and…

Fox Point Couple Designs California Wine Label
