Other things to note
History of the home: The Willard Merrill House was built in 1889.

The residence is on the National Register of Historic Places. The building has a unique history, and was used for a variety of purposes in the past. Mr. Merrill, who ordered the construction of the home, was a Wisconsin legislator and Vice President at Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance company. He moved to Milwaukee from Rome and paid $7,000 for the construction. Later, it housed The Association of Catholic Women and was used as their clubhouse and offices. The home was most recently owned by Leon Travanti, a retired UWM art professor, who is well-known locally for his Circus Parade posters.
