Brewers' Hill Neighborhood

Brewers' Hill is a small, diverse neighborhood north of downtown on the Milwaukee River. The neighborhood is bordered by North Avenue, Holton Avenue, the Milwaukee River, and Pleasant Street to the south, and Martin Luther King Drive to the west. It provides the perfect community for the Milwaukee bed and breakfast of Sanger House Gardens.

The name Brewers' Hill is derived from the high population of brewery workers and owners that once inhabited the area.

Brewers' Hill contains an architectural mix of Greek Revival, Italianate, Queen Anne and Colonial Revival buildings dating from the 1850s to the 1920s. Part of the neighborhood, the Brewers' Hill Historic District, is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
