Peter J. Brust (November 4, 1869 – June 22, 1946) was an American architect, and fellow[1] of the American Institute of Architects, who practiced his craft from approximately 1893 to 1946, in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
Brust designed hundreds of residential, ecclesiastical (churches, convents, chapels, monasteries, rectories, and seminaries), business, school, medical, public, memorial, recreation, and theater commissions.
The residential designs of Peter Brust were overwhelmingly influenced by Old English architecture.
The Tudor Revival craze (influenced by wealthy Americans) hit Milwaukee in the 1920s and 1930s, which Brust & Phillip capitalized on.
In addition, numerous Brust commissions were featured in Western Architecture throughout the 1910s, 1920s, and 1930s.
