Real history

German-language publisher George Brumder, who died on May 9, 1910, before it was finished, built the mansion for his son George Jr. (TMJ4, 2024; Wikipedia; OnMilwaukee). In 1927 it was the home of nightclub owner Sam Pick, and OnMilwaukee says the evidence suggests the basement recreation room served as a speakeasy (OnMilwaukee).

Owner Julie Carr told CBS 58 about a spirit called Emma. She also repeated a claim that the basement speakeasy was tied to Al Capone; the speakeasy is supported by the house's history, but no Capone link is documented. Source: CBS 58, 2024.
