History


The Milwaukee Eagles' Aerie #137 was formed in 1901 by a group of actors, theater managers, and other stage men. It was the first Eagles lodge in the state. They met in a headquarters on Second Street until it burned, when they moved to 6th St. The aerie grew quickly and by 1925 was the second-largest Eagles chapter in the U.S.
In 1925 the chapter broke ground on a new clubhouse. Russell Barr Williamson designed the building, five stories tall, with Mediterranean Revival styling. The walls are stone, framing three round-topped recessed windows above the front entrance. Near the top of the wall is a wide frieze with a relief sculpture of human-eagle forms, rather similar to Assyrian art. The roof is covered in tile, typical of the Mediterranean Revival style. The grand opening for the Eagles Building was September 13, 1927.
Since its construction in 1926, the Eagles Club has known several incarnations. Prominently among them, it housed the Fraternal Order of the Eagles, a notable organization whose considerable impacts on America's cultural landscape remain in effect today. The Eagles pushed for the foundation of Mother's Day, provided the impetus for a national Social Security program, and campaigned to eliminate job discrimination on the basis of age. Notable former Eagles include Theodore Roosevelt, Warren G. Harding, Franklin Roosevelt, Harry Truman, John F. Kennedy, Jimmy Carter and Ronald Reagan. The building now operates as The Rave / Eagles Club, a purveyor of music to Milwaukee for twenty years.
