Additional Information: | This house was built for Mr. and Mrs. Fred Hurlbut, Jr., members of a family that influenced the growth of Green Bay in the period 1860-1925. Fred Hurlbut, Jr., president of the F. Hurlbut Co., originally dealing in coal, lime, and other bulk products, saw the growth of Green Bay from sailing ship days to the era of the enormous ships of today. During this period very few events in the business sector or in the fields of sports, from baseball to yachting, happened without the direct support or encouragement of Fred Hurlbut. He lived in Astor during the peak of this career. Fred Hurlbut, Sr., lived north of the Mason Street Bridge. He died in 1913 and his company came under the direction of his son. Fred Jr., was responsible for the modernization of the operation, switching truck for horses, and opening the first prestressed concrete fabricating plant west of the Alleghenies. |
