Brady Street Area Association - Historic Brady Street has long been an
ethnically diverse community near downtown Milwaukee and easy walking distance
to the shore of lake Michigan. First named in 1840, Brady Street is an
architectural tapestry of buildings mostly constructed between 1860 and 1930,
creating a distinctive neighborhood that was home to early Polish, German and
Irish immigrants. In the 1930's it became more predominantly Italian; some of
the businesses still bear the names of these pioneering Italian families today.
In the 1960s, Brady Street became Milwaukee's very own "Haight-Ashbury" complete
with flower children, peace and love, underground political publications and the
infamous hippiefest known as Brady Street Days.
