The residence was one of three summer homes designed for family members by prominent Milwaukee architect Eugene Liebert. Liebert designed many commercial buildings and private residences for the city’s best-known German families during the late 1800s and early 1900s. Just after 1900, he purchased several acres of land on the east bank of the Milwaukee River, across from what is now Kletzsch Park. On the second parcel south of his family’s summer home, Liebert designed a home for his brother-in-law, Otto Logemann, in a cottage style with a wrap-around porch. The property is designated for its architectural significance.
