History of Bellin Building

The historical style of the building stands out with its Chicago style of architecture, the first in the area. It was also known as the 'first small skyscraper of North Milwaukee' in its time.

The building is under its third ownership. It was founded by one of the city's most prominent surgeons - Dr. Julius Bellin. It is one of the elegant buildings of that time with terra cotta that covers the North and East side.

The washable surface was appealing to those that desired a resplendent building which is characteristic of the glass of a modern-day skyscraper.

You'll also be interested to learn that it has a manual elevator, one of the four remaining ones in the United States. Few buildings have changed so little as the Bellin Building which was once a rather high-profile address on the street.

It has housed the Wisconsin Public Service offices and later People's Trust and Safety Company, along with several law firms. Currently, the Bellin Building is the only example that remains downtown Green Bay of the commercial style of architecture which pioneered the use of metal superstructures to create buildings with numerous stories and several windows. The weight of the building is carried by a steel and concrete skeleton erected over a foundation of piles driven 80 feet into the ground.
