Historic 1870s Italianate Home | Architectural Details

About the Space

Located in Milwaukee's historic Walker's Point neighborhood, the House is an 1870s Italianate residence offering a distinctive backdrop for photography, film, commercial productions, and creative projects. The 3,500-square-foot home features original architectural details, high ceilings, generously proportioned rooms, and a thoughtfully curated mix of antique, vintage, and contemporary furnishings. Rich colors, layered textures, and unique decorative elements create a variety of settings within a single location. The main floor offers multiple interconnected spaces suitable for lifestyle photography, fashion editorials, interviews, product shoots, and commercial productions. Each room has its own character, allowing production teams to capture a range of looks without changing locations. Located just minutes from downtown Milwaukee, Hanover House offers the architectural character of a historic residence with the convenience of an accessible urban location. The property is owner-occupied, with hosts available on-site to assist with access, logistics, and questions while remaining out of the way during production. Location scouting and walkthroughs are available by appointment.
