In the late nineteenth century, Green Bay’s proximity to the great northern pine forests made the city a lumber and pulp processing center, a port for shipping lumber to Chicago, and the market hub of northern Wisconsin and the Fox River Valley. Again, the old Astor district became the neighborhood of choice for the city's new economic leaders. William Wagner, who co-founded the Northern Paper Company in 1901, commissioned the two-and-one-half-story Colonial Revival William Wagner House (1030 S. Monroe Ave.) in 1906. The wood-shingled, side-gambrel roof echoes Dutch Colonial architecture, but otherwise classical elements prevail. Classical architrave moldings and triangular pediments trim the three attic dormers, and the three windows in the middle dormer are Palladian. A full-width porch with smooth Tuscan columns shelters the entry.
