Wausau Center

Wausau Center was an enclosed shopping mall which opened in 1983 in downtown Wausau, Wisconsin. The last remaining anchor store was HOM Furniture, which still stands in a space that had previously been a Younkers. There were two vacant anchor stores that were once JCPenney and Sears. It was managed by Mid-America Real Estate Group. History The downtown area of Wausau was blighted by many vacant buildings in the late 1970s. A referendum passed in 1979 to allow Richard E. Jacobs' Jacobs Visconsi & Jacobs Group to build the mall. Approximately 67 buildings were demolished to make way for the mall, which opened on August 3, 1983. To commemorate the opening, a five-day celebration was held. Its original anchors were J. C. Penney, Sears, and Prange's (later Younkers). Walgreens, an original tenant, moved out in 2003 relocating to central Bridge Street. In 2006, the mall owners began a renovation that included new seating areas and an improved mall entrance. Two years later, the food court was expanded, using space vacated that same year by a McDonald's. The mall lost all three anchor stores between 2014 and 2018, with Younkers being the last of the three to close; in June 2019, HOM Furniture opened as the center's sole anchor store, having acquired the previously closed Younkers location. Redevelopment On February 4, 2020, the mall was sold to Wausau Opportunity Zone, Inc. (WOZ). The acquisition does not include HOM Furniture or the two parking ramps. It was planned for demolition sometime in 2021 to make way for a multimillion-dollar redevelopment, which will include residential and retail areas, office space, restaurants, entertainment, and green spaces. The mall closed permanently in April 2021. Demolition began on May 17, 2021. It took up to eight weeks for construction crews to remove the buildings and foundations, with HOM Furniture, the two parking ramps, and the JCPenney building remaining. The JCPenney building will temporarily remain in place due to its location above the west parking ramp but is planned to be removed later. References External links Wausau Center

La Belle Cemetery

La Belle Cemetery is in Oconomowoc, Wisconsin. Built in 1851, and originally called Henshall Place, it was the first cemetery recorded in Oconomowoc. The cemetery then moved to Walnut Street. In 1864, the Wisconsin Legislature approved the removal of all the bodies from Oconomowoc Cemetery on Walnut Street to the current La Belle Cemetery grounds. The land that is now the grounds for the La Belle Cemetery was first owned by Charles B. Sheldon, which he donated when the Oconomowoc Cemetery became too crowded. The oldest recorded stones in the cemetery have been there since the early 1800s. Some graves have no headstone and there are no records of who is buried there, just a little X marking a burial spot. The most common symbols found on the headstones are religious crosses. The two mausoleums people visit are the ones for the Kohl family and the Sheldon family. In the cemetery, there is a section for infants and children younger than six years old. Another section was specified for the newest style headstones, which are black marble with pictures and drawings. History In 2005 three corporations were found guilty of allowing sediment from nearby construction sites to wash into the cemetery in 2004, and ordered by the court to undertake a $400,000 cleanup of the cemetery. Over 90 men who fought in the American Civil War are thought to have been buried in La Belle, including the last surviving Civil War veteran in Waukesha County, who died and was buried here in 1942. Notable interments Henry Jordan – NFL football player Jennie Coldwell Nixon, educator Ghost stories A memorial statue of a woman named Mary Nathsius in La Belle Cemetery is said to come to life. Some tales report that the statue's hands turn black, others, that blood oozes from her eyes, and many of the stories describe the statue as walking to the lake where she drowns herself, as the woman memorialized by the statue is said to have done.

A. F. Gallun & Sons

A. F. Gallun & Sons was one of the largest tanneries in Milwaukee, Wisconsin and one of the four largest tanneries in the United States. History A. F. Gallun & Sons was founded in 1858 by August F. Gallun, who was part of the old pioneer families of Milwaukee. Gallun had been associated with Trostel and Gallun. Trostel carried on with Albert Trostel & Sons. Gallun's son, Albert F. Gallun eventually took over as president. The tannery was located near the Milwaukee River in downtown Milwaukee. Closure The tannery closed in 1993, citing its inability to keep up with the low cost of Asian competition and their production of cow leather. At the time the tannery was producing calf leather, not cow, and it felt it would not be economical to convert. By the time of its closure, the company was the last major calfskin tanner that supplied shoe manufacturers in the United States. Today Parts of Holton and Water Streets in Milwaukee, Wisconsin are referred to as the Gallun Tannery Historic District and they were added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1983. In 2011, a portion of the tannery was razed after a wall collapse. The remainder has been redeveloped and converted into condominiums and apartments. References External links

John Pritzlaff Hardware Company

The John Pritzlaff Hardware Company is a complex of Italianate-styled buildings built from 1875 to 1919, a remnant of what was for years the largest wholesale hardware business in Milwaukee and the region. In 2013 the buildings were listed on the National Register of Historic Places. John C. Pritzlaff was an immigrant from Pomerania, Prussia, who came to Milwaukee in 1841, before Wisconsin was a state. In 1850 he, August Suelflohn, and Henry Nazro opened a small hardware store on Third Street called John Pritzlaff and Company. Pritzlaff became the sole owner in 1866. In 1875 Pritzlaff moved his business to the current location and shifted from retail to wholesale hardware. In that year he built the first structure. That 1875 main block is a four-story brick building. It has brick hood moulds over the windows and a denticulated, bracketed cornice - typical of the Italianate style that was popular at that time. On one side the cornice is broken by a round-topped pediment which frames "1875 - Pritzlaff". Additions and other blocks were added in 1879, 1887, 1895, 1903, 1912, 1915 and 1919. The surviving blocks are all brick, in Italianate style. As the buildings grew, so did the staff, from 52 in 1881 to 450 in 1931. Pritzlaff's enterprise became the largest hardware company in Milwaukee, Wisconsin and eventually became one of the largest wholesale hardware companies and iron supply houses in the Midwest. It was known for selling hardware, sewing machines, and toys through mail order catalogs to wholesale accounts throughout the United States. After Pritzlaff died, his son, Fred C. Pritzlaff took over until his death in 1951. When Fred died, his son took over the firm until it closed in 1958. Today the buildings have been renovated and converted into rental space for large events and high end apartments.

Bay Beach Wildlife Sanctuary

The Bay Beach Wildlife Sanctuary is a 600-acre municipal urban wildlife refuge. It is the largest park in the Green Bay, Wisconsin Park system and home to the second largest wildlife rehabilitation program in Wisconsin. Facilities include a nature education center, observation building, hiking trails, woodland building and numerous animal habitats. The sanctuary is adjacent to the Bay Beach Amusement Park. History In 1929, the City of Green Bay purchased 250 acres near the Bay Beach Amusement Park with the intent of building a golf course. In the following decades, citizens developed the concept of a wildlife refuge with guidance from Aldo Leopold. In 1941, the Parks, Recreation, and Forestry Department took over the operation. In 1985, the Nature Education Center opened with the help of private donations totaling $1.7 million. The sanctuary celebrated its 80th anniversary in 2015. Facilities and operations The Bay Beach Wildlife Sanctuary is free and open to the public year-round. The park receives many sick and injured wild animals, and their goal is to rehabilitate them and return them to the wild. The animals who cannot survive in the wild are given a safe and permanent home in one of the many buildings on the sanctuary's campus. The sanctuary's collection includes many animals native to Wisconsin, including foxes, bobcats, wolves, and various small mammals and birds. The park provides a number of environmental education opportunities for school groups and other members of the community. The Oak Learning Center is a 4K kindergarten program located at the Bay Beach Wildlife Sanctuary and sponsored by the Green Bay Area Public School District. References External links Official website
