Tributes
In addition to the various taxa named after them, in 1929, Milwaukee Public Schools built a new junior high school which was named Peckham Junior High School. The name was changed in the early 1970s to honor Jackie Robinson. It was shut down in 2005, and converted to apartments in 2011–2012 with the help of historic preservation tax credits.
