The Hefter Conference Center, originally known as Marietta House, was built for A.A. Schlesinger and later acquired by the Brumder family. It was purchased from the Brumder family by Milwaukee State Teachers College in 1946 for $80,000, and was used as a women's cooperative dormitory until the summer of 1970. The building has been occupied by the Schools of Education and Library Science, and by Continuing Education for Adults and Urban Outreach.
It was renamed the Edith S. Hefter Conference Center in 1989 for the wife of Bert Hefter, retired vice president of Milprint, Inc., who donated funds toward its renovation and restoration, completed in 1995. It is used as a conference center and for meetings and special events. |
