Description
Incorporated in 1879, the working class village of Bay View was later annexed by the City of Milwaukee by 1887. While it has been part of the city for over a century, Bay View remains a distinct community with its own proud history.
Established in 1979, the Bay View Historical Society is a non-profit organization that consists of volunteers dedicated to preserving and promoting the rich heritage of the Bay View neighborhood in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Started by two neighbors (Paul Kohlbeck and Audrey Quinsey) during a chance conversation in their alley, the Bay View Historical Society is now incorporated and operates under a set bylaws. The Bay View Historical Society occupies the renovated Beulah Brinton House. This former home of Warren and Beulah Brinton was an early gathering place when Beulah organized the first library and other social activities from it.

Famous quotes containing the word description:
“Everything to which we concede existence is a posit from the standpoint of a description of the theory-building process, and simultaneously real from the standpoint of the theory that is being built. Nor let us look down on the standpoint of the theory as make-believe; for we can never do better than occupy the standpoint of some theory or other, the best we can muster at the time.”
—Willard Van Orman Quine (b. 1908)
“It [Egypt] has more wonders in it than any other country in the world and provides more works that defy description than any other place.”
—Herodotus (c. 484–424 B.C.)
“A sound mind in a sound body, is a short, but full description of a happy state in this World: he that has these two, has little more to wish for; and he that wants either of them, will be little the better for anything else.”
—John Locke (1632–1704)
