Astor Historic District

The Astor Historic District is a residential neighborhood located in Green Bay, Wisconsin. It was added to the Wisconsin State Register of Historic Places in 1975, and the National Register of Historic Places in 1980. The Astor Historic District is significant as the highest concentration of residences of the economic and civic leaders of Green Bay from its period of settlement well into the twentieth century. The neighborhoods's history, spanning nearly a century and a half, is reflected in the buildings and architectural styles of the district. The prosperity and influence of Astor is reflected in the scale and stylishness of its homes, particularly those from its period of greatest prosperity, 1895-1929.
