WITCH’S HOUSE

MARY NOHL ART ENVIRONMENT

The Mary Nohl Art Environment (also called the Fox Point Art Yard, Fox Point Witch's House and Mary Nohl's house) is a residence in the Milwaukee suburb of Fox Point, Wisconsin. The property, which is filled with folk art created by artist Mary Nohl (1914-2001), has numerous sculptures on view outside the house. The home, listed on the National Registry of Historic Places, has been the site of much local controversy between the affluent residents of the neighborhood, who resent the attention, and Wisconsin's art community, who want the property to be preserved.

This house outside of Milwaukee features lots of sculptures and artwork of fish, monsters, and humans. With an eerie feeling and urban legends, it became known as the Witch's House. In 2005 it was placed on the National Register of Historic Places after local residents tried to have it demolished. It was created by Mary Nohl (1914-2001).
