Additional Comments
In June of 1877, under the direction of Bishop Joseph Melcher, Sister Melania, and Father Norbert Kersten, the St. Joseph Orphan Asylum was established on the corner of Webster and Crooks Streets in the City of Green Bay. Soon after, the orphanage purchased the Shaylor Farm on Riverside Drive, north of St. Joseph Street, where it constructed the non-extant Main Hall in 1896. A south wing was added in 1902. Because of safety concerns for children living in the original orphanage, the Catholic Diocese of Green Bay and local parishes donated money for a new residence, which was constructed in 1953. Bona Hall was designed by Foeller, Schober, Berners, Safford & Jahn. The firm also designed numerous additions and remodeling projects for the hall beginning in 1980, through the 1990s. Today, the building is a part of the Catholic Diocese of Green Bay campus. orphanage
