Old Main, as it was called by the soldiers and sailors who lived in it, was designed by Edward Townsend Mix, and completed in 1869. It contained sleeping quarters, reading rooms, chapel, kitchens and dining room. It served as a Home until 1985. Completely restored in 2019, it is once again a Home for Veterans. It is located in the National Historic Landmark district of the National Home for Disabled Volunteer Soldiers, now the Clement Zablocki VA Medical Center, Milwaukee.
This ¾" thick wooden replica is handcrafted at Cat's Meow, a small workshop in Wooster, Ohio. It can be set neatly on a shelf, wainscoting, or window/door trim to remind you of this beautiful landmark. A short description of Old Main is written on the back. Look for Casper, the mascot black cat, taking up residence within the design. This is the sign of an authentic Cat’s Meow!
