Description
The Chicago Northwestern Depot in Green Bay, Wisconsin was built in 1899. During the depot's golden age it was a bustling hub of activity. Thousands of families saw their loved ones depart for war or were reunited here after its end. Among the most famous visitors here were Nat King Cole, Buddy Holly, and three presidents: Taft, Franklin Roosevelt and Eisenhower. For many residents of Green Bay and surrounding communities, the depot was a social center and a gathering place which played a significant role in families' most memorable life events. The building was vacated in 1994 and sat idle for almost two years. That all changed in 1996 when Titletown Brewing Company opened for business. Today freight trains run by on a regular schedule and a statue celebrating Green Bay Packer Donald Driver stands outside.
