| Additional Information: | Formerly 127-220 Newhall (Sanborn-Perris Map, 1957). Very large one-story tall dance hall with a two-story flat roofed restaurant incorporated into northeast corner. The original building had two arched roof pavillions which were joined by a common entrance. The streamlined, Art Moderne style main facade may be original or is possibly a later addition and features a large entrance with the arched entrance pavillion being flanked by massive carved stucco-sided buttresses with the entrance door inset between the stepped, splayed inner walls of the buttresses. Originally, the two large pavillions which flank the entrance-way both featured the same wide stucco-sided cornice which rises from the ground next to the buttresses and curves to form the cornice above the first floor walk. At a later date, the facade of the right or northerly pavillion was altered by the addition of the second floor and the arcade below it. Other alterations include the covering of the original facade of the left or southerly pavillion with brick and the filling of the original windows. Still this is the largest of the few buildings in this style in Green Bay. Green Bay Intensive Survey Phases 2, 3 & 4 |
