Jeffery Dahmer's House (former)

Jeffrey Dahmer was the Milwaukee serial killer whose 1992 trial ended with a jury finding him sane and a judge imposing 15 consecutive life terms. He was killed by a fellow inmate in 1994.

Dahmer was a tenant, not an owner: he rented an apartment here until his arrest in July 1991. The apartment building held 49 small units.

The Wisconsin Historical Society's architecture inventory, drawing on a 1984 survey, lists the building as a contemporary-style brick apartment block on a steel frame. It is marked demolished.

Campus Circle, a redevelopment group backed by Marquette University and area businesses, bought the building in August 1992 for $325,000. It was torn down that November.

The city later sold the empty lot to Ogden Homes for $500, on terms that barred building there. The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel found it still unused in 2022.

A Milwaukee County supervisor said in 2011 that some victims' families wanted a memorial on the lot, an idea that drew mixed reactions. The city's stated plan was green space.

After a 2022 Netflix drama renewed interest, Mayor Cavalier Johnson said the victims deserve respect but warned a physical memorial could draw people with a morbid fascination with the killer.
