The Conrad Schmitt Studios were founded in Milwaukee in 1889 by Conrad Schmitt, son of Bavarian immigrants. Preserving the past through comprehensive investigation, analysis and documentation is a vital component of the studio. They have conserved stained glass windows designed by famous artists such as Louis Comfort Tiffany and have restored buildings designed by architects such as Louis Sullivan, Frank Lloyd Wright and many others. The studio also creates interiors and art glass for buildings of architectural and historic significance throughout the county and abroad including basilicas, cathedrals, churches, theaters, train stations, universities and government buildings. The tour will offer a behind-the-scenes look at the studio’s current projects. Not well suited for those with limited mobility.
