| Additional Information: | Fox River Valley Industrial Survey The Wright Brothers Paper Box Company was established in 1908 and constructed a new industrial loft in 1917, located at 21 West Arndt Street in Fond du Lac. The building maintains its historic appearance with its brick and concrete exterior, glass block windows, and lofted interior spaces. The small company specialized in the manufacture of cardboard containers. In 1976, the Wright Brothers Paper Box Company moved again to a new location on the south side of the city. The Wright Brothers Paper Box Company is significant under Criterion C: Architecture as an excellent example of an early twentieth century small industrial loft. The period of significance for the property would be limited to the date of construction in 1917. |
