Babich Building - 2 Bedroom - Upper Apt #1

Welcome to your private 2-bedroom suite in a charming 1926 Neoclassical-style building! Featuring high ceilings, big windows, hardwood floors, and cozy furniture, this vintage space blends history with modern comfort. Located next to the iconic Kegel's Inn, a 1924 Prohibition-era speakeasy, it's walking distance to American Family Field, close to downtown Milwaukee, Summerfest grounds, and the lakefront. Perfect for a unique stay in vibrant West Allis, just 10 minutes from the airport!

Welcome to your stay in one of West Allis's most historic neighborhoods! Located next to the legendary Kegel’s Inn, this charming property embodies the rich history of the area with a story that goes back nearly a century.

About the Property:
Built in 1926, this beautiful two-story Neoclassical-style building was originally designed by The Hinckley Co. under the ownership of Paul Babich. Its early days housed the Grape Juice Products Co., a unique reflection of the Prohibition era’s creative ventures.

Featuring classic architectural details, including a stunning brick façade adorned with stone trim, a dramatic shaped parapet, and intricately designed entrances, the building marries 1920s craftsmanship with modern functionality.

A Historic Location:
This property is nestled next to Kegel’s Inn, a beloved cornerstone of West Allis since 1924. Once operating as a "Soda Pop Parlor" during Prohibition (but famously known as a speakeasy), Kegel’s Inn played a significant role in what was humorously deemed the "Sin City of West Allis."

Today:
This timeless building, neighboring one of Milwaukee’s most celebrated restaurants, offers a rare opportunity to immerse yourself in a neighborhood steeped in history. With easy access to Kegel's Inn and its rich story, you’ll find yourself steps away from authentic German cuisine and local character that has stood the test of time.

Whether you're here for a short getaway, a weekend retreat, or a business trip, you’re staying in more than just a space—you’re part of West Allis history.

In town for a concert

We were really happy with the location and the apartment was accurately described. It's a nice little flat. The location was good and the next door beer garden and German restaurant were great to have right there. Be prepared to climb some stairs. The parking isn't ideal since no overnight street parking is allowed without a temp free permit (the city website process is a bit cumbersome and unclear)--the folks at the German restaurant said to park in their small lot (as did the owners) but it was always full. The permits and street parking worked out ok in the end. It will be nice to have the coffee shop below when it opens.
