  1. Boy, that is not the “farm house” used in my recollection, nor is the location correct? Were there more than one used?

    1. Yes, multiple farmhouses.
      I’m looking at Chapter 3 of Betty Brown’s exhaustively researched and documented history, “University of Wisconsin-Green Bay: From the Beginning.”
      It refers to these buildings in a passage that begins, “…Except for two farmhouses on the Shorewood property, the University (in 1967) as a physical entity was still invisible. Weidner and his secretary occupied the first floor of the Maloney house, located down a steep hill from Bay Settlement Road. (Assistant Chancellor Russell) White worked in another farmhouse facing Highway 54-57…”

      That one was a white farmhouse with several outbuildings including an old barn. And it had a sign that said “Business Offices” out front. I’ve seen that photo. (It’s Photo No. 101, and also 102, at the digitized historical photo archive that Deb Anderson and University Archives/Area Research Center have archived at http://digicoll.library.wisc.edu/WebZ/FETCH?sessionid=01-64030-2003967048&recno=101&resultset=2&format=F&next=html/nffull.html&bad=error/badfetch.html&&entitytoprecno=101&entitycurrecno=101&entityreturnTo=brief
