| Additional Information: | 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. In 1928 architects Foeller, Schober & Berners designed Nazareth Hall, which was soon after renamed Bosco Hall, to house infants and the youngest children at the orphanage. Today, the building is known as the Chancery as a part of the Catholic Diocese of Green Bay campus. |
