1940s vintage postcard. The Emil Blatz Temple of Music was built in 1938 and is an outstanding example of an early 20th-century bandshell. 

"With a background of the highest influences ..cultural, social and industrial... Milwaukee has preserved a savory Old World charm unusual for so large a city. Prominent as a gathering place for music lovers is the Blate Temple, a modern music shell where outstanding artists perform every year in a full summer schedule of concerts, operas, and cultural programs." ge
