The story

The work that leads Mildner & Eisen's record here is the Goeschel Building, a building in Detroit's McDougall-Hunt, finished in 1914.

Mildner & Eisen's Metro Detroit work on record runs from Deaconess Hospital in 1893 to the Pochelon Building in 1923, 30 years. No decade kept Mildner & Eisen busier here than the 1910s, with 5 works.

Of Mildner & Eisen's 9 works here, 4 are gone, Edelweiss Cafe in 1949 among them. Today, 5 of Mildner & Eisen's works still stand. Inside the city, Mildner & Eisen's buildings stand in 5 neighborhoods, from Indian Village to LaSalle Gardens.

Elijah E. Myers is credited beside Mildner & Eisen on Deaconess Hospital. Of Mildner & Eisen's works here, 4 are homes, the Edward N. Eisenberg House and the Jacob Schaeffer House first among them. Anyone tracing Mildner & Eisen's work can begin at the Edward N. Eisenberg House at 1796 Burns St and follow the map from there.
