2018 Wisconsin Breast Cancer Showhouse

2018

Wisconsin Breast Cancer Showhouse Hope has a home

June 2~June 17, 2018 1363 North Prospect Avenue ~ Milwaukee, Wisconsin

2018 Showhouse Dedication When Cecelia Gore walks into a room, people take notice. Her graceful presence, unfailing humor and quiet sensibility command respect and attention. As a 30-year plus veteran change agent, business leader and go-to philanthropic advisor and funder, Cecelia has impacted the success of countless nonprofits in ways that otherwise would not have been possible.

Board service is one of the many advocacy hats Cecelia wears for the good of the community. Some nonprofits currently benefiting from her time and talent include Greater Milwaukee Foundation (Community Investment and Awards Committee), Froedtert Hospital, Sojourner Family Peace Center, Milwaukee Film (Fund Development Committee), Hank Aaron Chasing the Dream Foundation, and Alverno College Trustees (Governance Chair; Fund Development Committee). She also serves on the CG Schmidt corporate board.

Cecelia is never shy about calling on her circle of influence to leverage what she can accomplish. She is a soughtafter strategic advisor to corporate executives and foundations for both capital campaigns and supporting missions for positive community engagement and impact. Her past professional experience includes serving as Program Director for the Jane Bradley Pettit Foundation, one of the largest independent and most active foundations in Greater Milwaukee area philanthropy. Earlier positions focused primarily on external relations at Wisconsin Gas/a WICOR Company and We Energies.

Cecelia’s past experience helped prepare her for success in her current top leadership role as Executive Director of the Brewers Community Foundation, the charitable arm of Milwaukee Brewers Baseball Club (MLB). Focusing on providing quality programming in the areas of health, education, recreation and basic needs, it has allocated more than $25 million to nonprofits. Importantly, under Cecelia’s guidance, several agency endowments also have been established to assure Foundation activities will continue in perpetuity.

There is, however, always another side to the story. In February 2016, Cecelia’s personal life took a challenging turn. She was diagnosed with Stage 2 lobular breast cancer. “My response to the diagnosis was mild disbelief,” recalls Cecelia. “I thought I had been doing all the right things to maintain good health.”

As a Froedtert Hospital board member, Cecelia was aware of what an academic medical center can offer patients for optimal treatment, and she made a decision to seek care at Froedtert & the Medical College of Wisconsin Clinical Cancer Center. According to Cecelia, “From my first contact with Froedtert and throughout the process, I felt well-cared for and that the individuals I was interacting with had a sincere concern for my well-being.”

Cecelia credits her husband Randy Bryant as her greatest supporter throughout her cancer treatment journey. “I was also thankful for my network of family and friends. My employer was very supportive for whatever effort and time I needed to embrace to successfully manage through surgery, treatment and recuperation.”

Brewers Community Foundation is the annual Showhouse Platinum Sponsor and an important ally in furthering the mission of WBCS, Inc. On a personal level, Cecelia and Randy generously donated their historic eastside home as the 17th Anniversary Showhouse for a Cure in 2014. Fighting cancer, Cecelia saw firsthand the importance of investing in the WBCS mission, recalling, “After having the pleasure of being a Showhouse participant, I met doctors while in treatment who were passionately utilizing the dollars raised to support the research that will make a difference for all of us in one way or another. I am thrilled that WBCS continues to remain focused, has figured out ways to leverage dollars and looks for opportunities to heighten the impact created when research proposals can be adequately funded.”

Cecelia had a thoughtful response when asked about any concerns she might have about what lies ahead: “As it relates to a possible reoccurrence, I am hopeful I won’t ever have to have that particular experience, and I attempt to remain grounded and to be thankful for the quality care I am able to access. I work hard to follow my doctors’ orders. I remain optimistic.”

WBCS, Inc., in turn, is both thankful and honored to dedicate its 21st Annual Showhouse for a Cure to senior executive, collaborative thought leader, philanthropy strategist, and optimistic survivor, Cecelia Iris Gore. n

Dear WBCS Guests, Friends & Sponsors Welcome to the Wisconsin Breast Cancer Showhouse!

We all walk through the front door of the Showhouse for our own reasons.

Some of you are looking for fun new ideas to spruce up your home. Some of you are cancer survivors. And some of you are here in honor of a survivor, or in memory of a loved one who lost their battle to breast cancer or prostate cancer.

Whatever your reason, we thank you for your support.

One in eight women will be diagnosed with breast cancer, and one in seven men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in their lifetime. While these staggering statistics may not have changed much over recent years, the survival rate has increased dramatically. We are making a difference. Our donations to the Medical College of Wisconsin each year are funding research that 2018 SHOWHOUSE FOR A CURE

is making a true difference in diagnosing cancer earlier and treating it more effectively.

On behalf of the Board of Directors, thank you to each and every one of you for everything you do for WBCS. Year after year, I’m in awe at what we’re able to accomplish as an organization. Together with the support of our designers, donors, homeowners, volunteers and guests, we’ve raised nearly $6.5 million to support early stage breast cancer and prostate cancer research at MCW. I’d like to express my sincere appreciation to this year’s homeowners, Amy and Ken Brengel, as well as to the talented designers who transformed this home into a Showhouse. We are also very thankful for the generosity of our many donors and in-kind sponsors, especially Northwestern Mutual for its continued support as our presenting sponsor.

Please enjoy this beautiful Showhouse and know that your attendance makes a difference. Thank you for your support of WBCS. n Colleen M. Reilly Chairman, WBCS Board of Directors 3

2018 Showhouse for a Cure Did You Know?

WBCS is an all-volunteer philanthropic organization that invests in promising breast cancer and prostate cancer research.

Interior designers, accountants, architects, graphic designers, landscape designers, lawyers, planners, your neighbors and hundreds of others volunteer their time to work together to create our annual events: Showhouse for a Cure Raise a Glass to Hope Gala Timeless Tee Up for a Cure Golf Outing and Gala Pinktacular Luncheon, Fashion Show and Bazaar. Fashions are modeled by breast cancer and prostate cancer survivors.

In addition to these WBCS events, WBCS is supported by others in the greater Milwaukee community. In the past year, Lucky Lanes, Slim McGinn’s, Carroll University Blaze Dance Team & Dr. Julie Rapps and Susie and Bob Fono/Barnes & Noble have each generously supported WBCS by sponsoring events that engaged their customers, clients and local community.

Each year, generous homeowners vacate their residence for three months or longer, giving their home over to 25 or more designers. n n n n

Donations to WBCS and revenue from purchased tickets and events are NOT used to decorate the Showhouse. All work done for the annual Showhouse for a Cure is underwritten by the interior designers. They are supported by their firms, suppliers, contractors, friends and families.

WBCS is the largest annual donor for adult cancer research to the Medical College of Wisconsin Cancer Center.

Since its 1998 inception, with the help and generosity of the greater Milwaukee community, WBCS has invested $6.5 million for cancer research at the Medical College of Wisconsin (MCW).

Researchers we support have secured an additional $68.9 million in extramural grants to continue the promising research initially funded by WBCS. All research proposals are ranked competitively by peer scientists and the WBCS Scientific Review Committee. This committee recommends only the most promising proposals that fall within the WBCS mission. The WBCS Board of Directors then makes the final decisions, awarding grants to those proposals with the most promising ideas.

2018 Research for a Cure WBCS, Inc. continues as the top annual philanthropic donor for adult cancer research at the Medical College of Wisconsin Cancer Center (MCWCC). Its 2017 donation of $325,000 brings its cumulative donation since its first gift in 1998 to $6.475 million in support of breast cancer and prostate cancer seed funding for research programs and research professorship endowments.

Remarkably, researchers supported by WBCS, Inc. have been awarded an additional $68.9 million in external research funding by Cancer Center researchers. Through its Scientific Review Committee (SRC), WBCS and MCWCC peer review scientists and leaders work together to ensure only the most competitive proposals are considered for WBCS funding. To date, the measure of the all-volunteer group’s monetary impact on research exceeds $75 million.

WBCS Grants 2018 2018 Report to WBCS on the WBCS $100,000 Large Center Grant Carol Williams, PhD, and Hallgeir Rui, MD, PhD, Co-Leaders of MCW’s Breast Cancer Biology Research Program, have provided an update on the 2012 WBCS $100,000 Large Center Grant in Breast Cancer Research. This award has supported a group of Cancer Center scientists and clinician investigators who are sharing innovative ideas and novel techniques to develop new ways to halt the growth of breast tumors and inhibit growth of metastases. WBCS support has allowed a team of 17 investigators to gather the experimental data to apply to the National Cancer Institute (NCI) for a $10 Million Program Project Grant (PPG). The new PPG application was submitted to the NCI on September 28, 2016, and was reviewed on February 9, 2017. The grant proposal was scored by the NCI panel of experts as “Strong with several minor weaknesses.” The comments suggested that the team needed more documented collaborative efforts in the form of published joint work. There was also expressed need to integrate the scientific theme further. The group has since published several joint publications and a series of additional publications are in preparation. Dr. Rui’s Project 1 was reworked and submitted as an R01 proposal with Drs. Michael Flister, Marja Nevalainen, and Lubna Chaudhary as co-investigators. This scored well (24th percentile) in October 2017 and was resubmitted on March 5, 2018.

Dr. Williams and Dr. Miao are reworking their P01 projects into R01 projects with plans to submit the improved proposals by October 2018. The breast cancer research program continues to expand,

A new program grant on breast cancer is being developed. It will likely include new recruits, and it will be centered on the most collaborative and integrated theme. n

Independent Seed Grants 2018 Amit Joshi, PhD, Associate Professor, Biomedical Engineering “Personalized Nanomedicine Interventions Targeted to Germline Driven Tumor Vascular Heterogeneity Breast cancer affects 1 in 8 US women in their lifetime. Current treatment for breast cancer involves surgery, chemotherapy and radiation treatment. These treatments not only cause undesirable side effects, but there is also a high level of inconsistency in how patients respond to treatment even in similar disease types. We suggest that part of this variation in treatment response might be due to inherited genes controlling the blood vessel development in tumors. Patients with favorable inherited blood vessel behavior in tumors have higher drug delivery to tumors, and favorable treatment response, while in others, genetically inherited factors predispose them to more aggressive and therapy resistant tumors. In this proposal, we will address both the low efficacy and side effects of current breast cancer treatments by personalizing treatment through a novel nanoparticle based imaging/therapy approach. We will target inherited blood vessel development controlling genes, to avoid therapy resistance and aggressive behavior in patients with unfavorable inherited genes.

Qing Miao, PhD, Associate Professor, Surgery “Contributions of epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) to promote the metastasis of estrogen receptor-positive breast cancer” This research will provide a new molecular mechanism and approach to overcome the metastasis of endocrine resistance breast cancer. The epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a process which allows tumor cells to escape into the lung and liver.

Our research has demonstrated that NgBR is a novel oncogene modulator. NgBR, highly expressed in breast cancer, plays the predominant role in modulating receptor tyrosine kinase signaling, which is required for promoting the EMT process. Research supported by this grant may help to validate NgBR as a new therapeutic target for preventing the metastasis of estrogen receptor positive breast cancer to improve the quality of life of breast cancer patients with new therapeutic options.

Second Year Independent Seed Grant Approvals Guan Chen, MD, PhD, Professor, Pharmacology and Toxicology Medical College of Wisconsin Research Title: “Disrupt a Signaling Circuit for the Treatment of Breast Cancer” Triple negative breast cancer has the worst prognosis among all types of breast cancers. There is thus an urgent need to identify novel triple negative therapeutic targets. Triple negative breast cancer is highly heterogeneous and treatments that target a functionally interdependent cluster of molecules may be a more effective treatment than current approaches. A molecule known as p38 is involved in promoting triple negative breast cancer development and malignant progression. Based on our preliminary results we will test whether p38 and two other important proteins known as HSP90 and Ras are working together to cause triple negative breast cancer. Upon completion, these studies will hopefully identify targets for therapeutic disruption that may be a new strategy for the treatment of triple negative breast cancer.

2018 SHOWHOUSE FOR A CURE

WBCS Impact Report 2018 Since 1998, WBCS, Inc. (Wisconsin Breast Cancer Showhouse) has donated $6.475 million to the Medical College of Wisconsin (MCW) for breast cancer and prostate cancer research. Much of this investment has been used to fund innovative seed grants. Seed grants help investigators pursue promising research by allowing a scientist to begin a new project based on a novel idea or discoveries made in the course of other research. By supporting innovative research at its earliest stages, this type of philanthropic “risk capital” has the potential for significant long-term return. The impact of this money cannot be overstated; in fact, a seed grant is typically the first step in developing new treatments and, ultimately, in identifying potential cures. An example of the leverage a seed grant can provide is included here.

In dollar terms alone, WBCS has had an impressive impact and return on investment. To date, WBCS seed grants have brought $68.9 million in additional funding to the MCW Cancer Center.

Example: Identifying Genes With Potential To Improve Response to Breast Cancer Treatment In 2016, Carmen Bergom, MD, PhD, Assistant Professor of Radiation Oncology, received a two-year, $100,000 WBCS award to pursue a research project

2018 SHOWHOUSE FOR A CURE

entitled “Mapping Tumor Evolution in the Radiation Response in Breast Cancer.” WBCS support provided a strong foundation for the growth of Dr. Bergom’s research program. She went on to receive a $450,000 Susan G. Komen grant for “Enhancing Breast Cancer Treatment Response by Targeting Genetic Host Factors,” and a $100,000 Mary Kay Foundation award for “Identifying Genetic Factors that Decrease Side Effects and Enhance the Efficacy of Breast Cancer Radiation.” The innovative studies funded by the WBCS award have helped Dr. Bergom identify potential genes that can be targeted to improve breast cancer treatment responses.​ ​The work also has led to the development of unique models where not only tumor sensitivity to radiation, but also side effects to organs such as the heart and lungs, can be tracked at the same time and altered based upon genetic factors.

These studies may lead to much more personalized and effective radiation therapy for breast cancer patients.

Dr. Bergom illustrates just one example of the many scientists where WBCS support has helped research that will someday end the devastation created by breast cancer and prostate cancer.

The WBCS mission is one embraced by our donors, volunteers, scientists and community partners.

Together, we are making a measurable impact on better treatments and, ultimately, cures. n

Research for a Cure 2018 2018 Progress Report from WBCS Professor Hallgeir Rui, MD, PhD With the arrival of the wonderful Wisconsin summer I am once again delighted to inform you of a year of excitement and scientific progress in breast cancer research at the Medical College of Wisconsin (MCW).

MCW is an outstanding institution for advanced biomedical research. The dedicated institutional leadership is committed to help patients and populations near and far through its strong commitment to research.

MCW is blessed with impressive research facilities and great people.

During the past year my laboratory team has continued to be very active in our studies of hormone research relevant for breast cancer. Years of work culminated in a publication in the journal Clinical Cancer Research that resolved several controversies about a hormone implicated in breast cancer bone metastases, parathyroid hormone related protein (PTHrP). Kudos to my team members, Drs. Yunguang Sun, John Langenheim, Amy Peck, and Sameer Udhane and Ms. Linna Ge and Ms. Kristen Champion, for their dedicated efforts. Dr. Michael Flister in the Department of Physiology was also an instrumental collaborator on this project.

Among the most stimulating aspects of working at MCW are the outstanding colleagues. Many faculty members work on breast cancer or prostate cancer, the focus of research generously supported by WBCS. In addition to the clinician scientists mentioned above, Drs. Carol Williams, Michael Flister, Robert Miao, Mark McNally, Amit Joshi, Guan Chen, Ling Wang, and Craig Mackinnon are core members‌ In parallel efforts, our team has worked diligently to perform molecular profiling of breast tumors to help us make predictions about tumor responsiveness to drugs and drug combinations. We use state-of-the-art quantitative software to analyze levels of proteins in breast tumors. We focus on proteins that are targets for drugs or otherwise directly relevant for therapy selection, such as tumorimmune markers. Exciting applications of these technologies to patient samples are ongoing, with the goal of matching patients with optimal treatments. Our MCW oncologist collaborators, including Drs. Lubna Chaudhary, Carmen Bergom, Sailaja Kamaraju, Christopher Chitambar, and Yee Chung Chen, lead novel clinical trials for breast cancer patients that will employ our new biomarker technologies. We are also delighted to collaborate with Dr. Julie Jorns, a breast cancer pathologist newly recruited from the University of Michigan.

Another major effort in our laboratory centers on testing of drug responsiveness of human breast cancer grown in mice. Our drug efforts are particularly focused on controlling growth of metastases, which cause the vast majority of breast cancer deaths.

Among the most stimulating aspects of working at MCW are the outstanding colleagues. Many faculty members work on breast cancer or prostate cancer, the focus of research generously supported by WBCS. In addition to the clinician scientists mentioned above, Drs. Carol Williams, Michael Flister, Robert Miao, Mark McNally, Amit Joshi, Guan Chen, Ling Wang, and Craig Mackinnon are core members of a multidisciplinary and highly collaborative team focused on translational breast cancer research at MCW. Dr. Flister won a prestigious grant from the Metavior Foundation to study breast cancer metastases.

We are also thrilled to have Dr. Marcelo Bonini, recently recruited from the University of Chicago, as a new collaborator at MCW. He brings additional enthusiasm and highly complementary expertise in tumor energy metabolism.

MCW is fortunate, as well, to have a very strong and growing team of researchers focusing on breast cancer disparities, community outreach and population science, including Drs. Melinda Stolley, Joan Neuner, Ann Nattinger, Kirsten Beyer, and Sailaja Kamaraju. A symposium on breast cancer disparities with an impressive list of internationally recognized speakers will be held in early September, an important effort spearheaded

by Dr. Kamaraju.

During the past year my laboratory team has continued to be very active in our studies of hormone research relevant for breast cancer. Kudos to my team members, Drs. Yunguang Sun, John Langenheim, Amy Peck, and Sameer Udhane and Ms. Linna Ge and Ms. Kristen Champion, for their dedicated efforts. Dr. Michael Flister in the Department of Physiology was also an instrumental collaborator on this project.

The generous funding raised by the extremely dedicated WBCS members provides immense support to the flourishing breast cancer and prostate cancer research programs at MCW. Investigators are spending the funds wisely and responsibly for maximum research impact. Hope, excitement and enthusiasm abound! n 2018 SHOWHOUSE FOR A CURE

One in seven men will face a diagnosis of prostate cancer in their lifetime. According to the American Cancer Society, other than skin cancer, prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men and is the second leading cause of cancer death in men. WBCS supports prostate cancer research to address these alarming statistics. In 2017, its board of directors committed to fund a WBCS Prostate Cancer Research Professorship to further advance prostate cancer research.

Prostate cancer is a key strategic area for the Medical College of Wisconsin Cancer Center (MCWCC) to address, as it is the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths for men in Wisconsin.

The newly formed Prostate Cancer Center of Excellence (PCCOE) at MCWCC harbors a highly active hub of prostate cancer research led by Marja T. Nevalainen, MD, PhD (research) and William A. See, MD (clinical care). The mission of PC-COE is to provide superior clinical care and conduct multidisciplinary research on prostate cancer to improve outcomes in both quantity and quality of life for men affected by prostate cancer, for the benefit of both prostate cancer patients and their families.

The goals of the PC-COE are to increase outstanding collaborative, multi-disciplinary prostate cancer research at PC-COE; promote excellence in providing superior clinical care for prostate cancer patients; increase the number of clinical trials offered to prostate cancer patients at MCWCC; create a distinct training program for the next generation of prostate cancer scientists; strengthen fundraising for prostate cancer research at PC-COE to provide seed funding for new ideas and projects and for fellowships for our trainees; promote community outreach and research to decrease racial disparity in prostate cancer incidence, morbidity and mortality; and achieve/ acquire higher name recognition for prostate cancer care and research at MCW within the institution, the state of Wisconsin, and nationally. n Marja Nevalainen, MD, PhD, Professor, Department of Pathology/Pharmacology-Toxicology - Using genetic and pharmacological approaches, Dr. Nevalainen provided and validated the proof-of-concept that Stat5 is a therapeutic target in prostate 2018 SHOWHOUSE FOR A CURE

cancer. Using medicinal chemistry, Dr. Nevalainen’s group identified a family of novel small molecule Stat5 inhibitors, which show great promise for further optimization and clinical development. In addition, work from her laboratory brought forth the novel concept that Stat5 is a marker to predict poor clinical outcome of patients treated with radical prostatectomy. This discovery holds potential for high translational impact since it may help identify patients who require aggressive treatment and may benefit from adjuvant therapies besides the standard treatment. Current work focuses on Jak2-Stat5 signaling mediating development of prostate cancer resistance to anti-androgens as well as to radiation therapy. n William A.

Christy Foote Fighter Award 2018 The words “survive and thrive” could be the mantra for WBCS’s 2018 Christy Foote Fighter awardees, Susie and Bob Fono. As young children in Budapest during the Holocaust, each witnessed family members being taken to work camps and death camps. While they lived near each other and frequented many of the same places in those dark days of World War II, they didn’t meet until they were traveling on the same refugee bus in Vienna in 1956, on their long journey to the United States.

Bob went to the Bronx in New York, and Susie to Florida, but they continued to correspond. Bob proposed to Susie by letter and she accepted. Through a series of connections, they came to Milwaukee, found jobs, and were married at Congregation Emanuel when it was located on East Kenwood Avenue. The couple’s sixtieth wedding anniversary on June 1 fortuitously falls on the same date as the 2018 WBCS preview gala. Their son and daughter are now not only parents, but grandparents themselves, as Susie’s and Bob’s legacy of humanity and service continues down through the generations.

Bob’s diagnosis of prostate cancer in 2001 at Columbia-St. Mary’s Hospital became his link to WBCS. Following successful treatment he asked his friend fellow Symphony volunteer and WBCS board member Judy Gehl why there were no men representing prostate cancer survivors on the WBCS board of directors. A few years later, Bob and Judy co-chaired a Showhouse preview party, and later, Bob was asked to serve on the board as the organization’s financial secretary.

He recently retired from that position, but Bob and Susie continue their substantial support of research through WBCS with the community partnership they established a few years ago: Bob and Susie Fono/ Barnes & Noble at Bayshore fundraiser.

Staci Young, PhD are currently collecting qualitative data from African American men to understand specific socio-economic barriers that prevent prostate cancer screening, early detection and treatment.

This project partners with key community organizations such as Walnut Way, to generate a line of communication with prostate cancer patients and survivors, as well as men who have not had the disease. n Kirsten Beyer, PhD, Institute for Health & Equity - Dr. Beyer has worked with her team to create maps of prostate cancer incidence, late-stage diagnosis, and mortality in Wisconsin, revealing clear spatial patterns of disparity. In addition, she is currently a consultant on a large, soon-to-be funded NIH/NCI P01 project based in California called RESPOND (Research on Prostate Cancer in Men of African Ancestry: Defining the Roles of Genetics, Immunity and Stress).

She will assist in an examination of the relationship between social stressors and prostate cancer aggressiveness.

SUMMARY Improving outcomes for prostate cancer involves research in multiple areas: biology, etiology (causes of cancer), imaging, prevention, early detection, treatment, cancer control, survivorship and outcomes. MCWCC is fortunate to have an outstanding team of prostate cancer scientists. Our goal is to enhance this team by bringing researchers who focus on clinical trials, or basic research, as well as population health researchers, in order to increase prostate cancer research from multiple angles and to foster translational research. Translational research involves moving findings from the laboratory to our patients and general population, as well as findings from the population back to the laboratory.

These findings will not only help patients in Wisconsin but will have an impact on prostate cancer nationally through funding from the National Cancer Institute. n

Susie learned to sew at age four at her grandmother Rose’s knee. That skill developed into a lifelong work career.

Susie has a full-time alterations business using her seamstress talents, and she is a go-to person for people wanting to alter or repurpose their high-end clothes. Not to be outdone by Bob’s efforts for WBCS, Susie and her Hadassah friends once put on a high tea during a Showhouse run, to the delight of everyone who attended. The group also has provided desserts and helped with the Barnes & Noble event.

Susie found her voice talking as a Holocaust survivor at a Hadassah gathering where she felt overcome with pride recounting her mother’s courage and heroism during that time. In 2006, she began speaking frequently about her Holocaust recollections as a member of the Speakers Bureau of Holocaust Survivors, a program sponsored by the Nathan and Esther Pelz Holocaust Education Resource Center (HERC). She and other Center speakers provide a moral compass for students learning about the history of this dark era that might otherwise be watered down or forgotten. Susie imparts a positive message of what can be learned from tragedy, with a plea for tolerance and respect for diversity. Her hope is the knowledge and the memories she and other speakers share will provide a framework of understanding and an appreciation of differences that will make this a better world.

Bob has advice for men about the importance of prostate cancer screening: “I’d like everybody to get checked every year—like women do for breast cancer screening—not necessarily only after you are over 50 or 60. It’s not a big deal. Don’t wait. It’s there.”

WBCS salutes Susie and Bob Fono, recipients of its fifth annual Christy Foote Fighter Award, two courageous survivors who continue to live life fully and to thrive. n

The 2018 Wisconsin Breast Cancer Showhouse History

H

One of the few surviving buildings by Milwaukee’s important pioneer architect, James Douglas, has been chosen as the 2018 Wisconsin Breast Cancer Showhouse.

Designed in 1876 as a flamboyant Victorian fairy-tale home with turrets, spires, finials and filigree, the Cream City brick home was once the towering beacon of Prospect Avenue.

Although the façade’s original ornate and dominating towers and porches have been removed, and the building narrowly escaped lightning strikes and a freeway demolition order, it stands proudly today as one of Milwaukee’s true architectural treasures. The 9,400 square foot, three-story home with five fireplaces and eight bedrooms is located at 1363 North Prospect Avenue in Milwaukee. For over 142 years and with most of the original structure retained, the building has been used as living quarters, offices, and a medical clinic.

Less familiar than architects Alexander Eschweiler or Edward Townsend Mix, James Douglas was a master of early 20th century architecture in the Milwaukee area.

He began his career as a part-time carpenter working on the old City Hall, Holy Trinity Church and the original steeple of St. John’s Cathedral. While also employed by the Mutual Life Insurance Company of the State of Wisconsin, now Northwestern Mutual Life, he began designing residences for its executives.

With resounding success as an architect, Mr. Douglas left his insurance company work and eventually designed over 100 buildings, gaining a national reputation for his uniquely styled residences. Described by an early historian as “Termes Mordax” or “ant hill” style, the houses resembled the cone-shaped structures of African termites.

The roofline of this year’s Showhouse is representative of that style with its chiseled hip and pitched octagonal and half-octagonal roof segments, spires and dormers. During the early 1900s, the lower East Side of Milwaukee became popularly known as “Douglasville”.

In 1876, wealthy grain broker and real estate investor Gilbert E. Collins of Chicago commissioned Douglas to design and build this year’s Showhouse as a belated wedding present for his daughter Ella.

After the completion of the mansion, Mr. Collins moved back to Chicago, never having lived in the house. In 1874 Gilbert Collins’ daughter, Ella J. Collins, had married Edward F. Elwell of Beaver Dam. From the time the house was completed until 1879, the Elwells resided in Beaver Dam where Mr. Elwell was pursuing the study of law. When Mr. Elwell was admitted to the Wisconsin Bar, the Elwells moved back to Milwaukee and became the first residents of the house.

The chief characteristics that give the home its Victorian identity include its asymmetrical shape, the steep, complex roof lines with dormers, tall chimneys, a turret, and the façade’s matching twostory bay windows. The use of Cream City brick gives the home its Milwaukee identity.

When initially constructed, the house had a five-story tower and was the tallest structure on Milwaukee’s East Side. The tower was considered to be an architectural masterpiece with its intricate

brass ornamentation, iron finials and decorative roof cresting. In 1938, following a third lightning strike, the storybook tower was removed as well as the large ornamented front porch which featured five Corinthian columns. In spite of this extensive remodeling, the essential Victorian outline and features of the house remain visible today. Although streamlined, the complex roofline might still rival that of any residence in Milwaukee. Of special note are the chimney stacks on either side of the building, each of which has a window, and serve as the exterior for the third floor dormers. The flues on the windows split into two and pass around the sides of

each double-hung Gothic lancet window.

Also noteworthy is the façade of the home with its matching two-story projecting bay windows, one topped by a turret and the other by a gable and the differently shaped, designed, and proportioned windows on the north. The decorative corbels, keystones and window sills serve to unify and provide horizontality to the house. The elegant and inviting entrance consists of a wide doorway topped with a transom window and an elaborately decorated horizontal lintel.

With the original floor plan intact, the interior reflects a sophisticated Old World look. The floor of the vestibule features decorative terra cotta floor tiles. The foyer walls are lined with rich, oak wainscoting and the ceilings are open-beamed with decorative plaster moldings. Intricate rosettes can be found on several ceilings. Leaded-paned glass pocket doors, with transom windows, separate the main rooms on the first level.

Leaded-glass with many diverse patterns is visible on windows and built-in cabinets. Doors feature vintage brass hinges, Victorian lion head knobs and keyhole escutcheon plates. Mantels of marble, brick and colorful tiles represent the unique fireplaces throughout the house with decorative cast iron fire backs.

Vented oak-paneled doors, wainscoting, paneled walls and window seats with capacity for storage can be found on the second level.

The oak staircase reaching from the first to the third floor has carved spindles and a banister Continued on page 51

following its curves. Because of all the different angles of the roofline, the third floor has over 60 different angles of wall and ceiling surfaces.

A state-of-the-art custom designed kitchen now occupies the rear of the first level. The lowerlevel’s Cream City brick walls and arched doorways have been transformed into a chic, elegant Airbnb.

After the Elwells returned to Milwaukee, Mr. Elwell was employed by the Chicago Milwaukee & St. Paul Railroad. Six years after moving into the mansion, the Elwell family moved to Waukesha and subsequently to Rockford, Illinois. They spent their golden years in Santa Clara, California with their daughter.

The hardly broken-in mansion was purchased

by Alfred Levi Cary in 1884. Mr. Cary, from Sterling, New York, came to Wisconsin to study law in the office of his uncle, a lawyer and Mayor of Racine.

After relocating to Milwaukee, Cary was appointed special master in charge of litigation for the Northern Pacific Railroad. He was a member of the Milwaukee Common Council and Legislature, and a member of many civic organizations. He married Harriet Van Slyck and they had four children, Robert, Walter, Harriet and Irving. To accommodate his growing family, he added an addition to the rear of the house. The four children could often be found climbing the 15-foot ladder up to the tower.

Currently, on the third floor, is a door that leads to a closet-sized attic space where kids accessed the

ladder to the original tower. It now is a dead-end storage space. The house was associated with the Cary family for the next sixty-eight years.

The Cary’s daughter, Harriet, and Charles L. Jones married and became the next owners of the house. Two children, Cary and Cornelia, were born of the marriage. Mr. Jones was Vice President of the Falk Company and the Joneses enjoyed a place in Milwaukee’s socially prominent community.

In 1916, tragedy struck the Jones family when the automobile driven by Mr. Jones, and carrying his eight-year old son to school, plunged through the guard rail of Lafayette bridge 40 feet to the railroad tracks below. Both Charles L. Jones and his son were fatally injured. Mrs. Jones and her daughter continued to live at the residence until Mrs. Jones’ death in 1952.

Sydney and Rachael Charney purchased the house from the heirs of Harriet Cary Jones in 1952.

After purchasing the house and after an extensive remodel to accommodate offices, Sydney Charney moved his law practice to the building.

The Jewish Chronicle also was housed there.

During the Charney ownership, the Milwaukee Expressway Commission drew the boundary for demolition of structures for the proposed North Avenue Expressway. The order demolished several buildings to the west and south and came within one structure of 1363 N. Prospect Avenue.

The freeway was never built.

In 1970, the house changed ownership to Dr. Louis and Harneitha E. Maxey. Dr. Maxey, a pharmacist, dentist, and medical doctor,

continued to use the property for offices. Mrs. Maxey was the financial manager of the business, known as Prospect Medical Center. The Maxeys retired to Gulfport, Mississippi, where in 2005 they both became fatal victims of Hurricane Katrina’s floodwaters.

Title to the house was then transferred to Dr. Thomas O’Conner and William J. Blake in 1982.

It continued to be used as a medical clinic and office building. One of the first EKG machines not located in a hospital setting in Milwaukee was installed in the building. A real estate investment firm also occupied the office block.

The building was subsequently sold in 1990 to Dr. Othmar and Gloria Kowske. Under their ownership, the house was used for a law office, an advertising agency, a financial planning firm and Park Travel, which was owned and managed by Ms. Kowske. The Kowske’s plan was also to open a Pub in the lower level of the house, but their plans were derailed when permits for parking in the empty lot to the south were not obtained.

An apartment building now occupies that lot.

Franklin Street Partners purchased the building from the Kowskes and continued to lease it to various entities.

Amy and Ken Brengel, the current owners, acquired the property in 2002. They became the caretakers and steward of a magnificent piece of history and have lovingly preserved and nurtured it. Their desire to share this Treasure with others led them to make it available as the 2018 Wisconsin Breast Cancer Showhouse. n
