Development

The City of West Allis has an exciting and living history. Community stories, historic homes, sites, convey an exciting history of industry, people, and Wisconsin!

Historic Preservation is to encourage the renovation and re-use of America's "built environment" - buildings, landscapes, and districts and even entire neighborhoods. It secures the cornerstones of our community, and a sense of lasting connection to the past.

Formed in 1998, the seven-member commission actively works to educate and to preserve our community's rich history. The Commission designates historic properties and recommends historical designation of historic districts. The commission then reviews any plans to alter formally designated. Projects have included promoting a mid 1800's Log Cabin School, preserving properties such as the Seneca Station (National Register 2004), and assisted in the publication of a pictorial history of West Allis authored by Albert Muchka.
