Written by John C. Eastberg, this generously illustrated book documents the history behind the Mansion of Milwaukee's famed beer baron, Captain Frederick Pabst. The book tells the life story of Captain Pabst, his family, his beer empire, and the Mansion that still stands today as a testament to America's Gilded Age.
New photography of the mansion was taken by E. C. Landry with the goal of focusing on all of the ornate and beautiful details contained within.
Designed between each chapter are photo interludes highlighting the rooms in the mansion which have been restored back to their original state.
You can purchase this book on the Pabst mansion website.
