Jeffrey Dahmer's Milwaukee Apartment: Still Vacant?

Yes, the apartment at 924 North 25th Street, Milwaukee (Apartment 213), where Jeffrey Dahmer committed most of his murders (1990–1991), remains unoccupied and the building was demolished in 1992.

What Happened

• July 1991: Dahmer arrested; apartment becomes crime scene.
• 1991–1992: Building (Oxford Apartments) sits vacant; macabre tourism, media frenzy.
• Nov 1992: **Demolished** by city order. Lot left empty.
• Present: Vacant lot / parking area. No memorial, no rebuilding. Neighborhood (Granville/Washington Park) prefers anonymity.

Why It Stays Empty

• **Trauma:** Victims' families, neighbors oppose any use.
• **Notoriety:** "Dark tourism" magnet — city wants to discourage.
• **Zoning/Community:** No developer touches it; residents resist.

The absence is the statement. The city erased the building; the silence honors the 17 victims.
