North Broadway Street Historic District Broadway, Ridgeway Blvd., Morris, Fulton, Franklin, Cass, Front, and Wisconsin Streets, De Pere, Brown County Period of Construction: 1836-1923 Early settlers of the area took advantage of the hydroelectric power of the Rapides des Pere, which fueled the local economy beginning in the early-1800s. Sawing and turning the local pine, birch, maple, and hemlock forests into lumber and woodenware, forging steel, and later processing pulp into the region’s paper products and local fisheries contributed to the growth of the community. It was in 1836 that the first building in the district was built. The five block area north of the De Pere business district and parallel to the Fox River has been one of the community’s premier residential neighborhoods, home to many of it important early settlers and community leaders. The buildings within the district are varied, with vernacular form homes interspersed among more high style designs, including Greek Revival, Italianate, Second Empire, and Queen Anne style homes. The homes in the district are private residences. Please respect the rights and privacy of the residents. |
