The City of Milwaukee will unveil a portrait of former Mayor Frank P. Zeidler in the lobby of the Frank P. Zeidler Municipal Building Tuesday. According to Permits and Communications Manager Cecelia Gilbert, the 93-year-old Zeilder was pleased with the portrait, which was painted by local artist Thomas Pelham Curtis.
A Committee was formed to purchase the painting to be hung in a public building.
Zeidler served as Milwaukee’s mayor from 1948 to 1960. During his tenure, the city doubled in size, and Zeidler oversaw the creation of the Arena, local library branches and 3,200 units of low-income housing.
