143 N. Broadway
Broadway-Walnut Historic District
Jones Motor Company
Built: 1931
Style: Egyptian Revival
Architecturally Significant
Unique yellow and blue ceramic tile structure with a central motif and subordinate side elements.
Two pilasters frame the central mass, giving the appearance of an Egyptian pylon gateway.
Pilasters terminate in decorated capitals and a large cavette capital bisected by an elongated dart. A wide blue terra cotta parapet with stylized leaves rests above the capitals, with a typical Egyptian sun disk in the center. The façade also features a large original garage door on the left side; display window on the rights side; and two half-round blue terra cotta medallions in the shape of lotus leaves above the front door. This is a rare example of the 1920s Egyptian Revival style, impressive due to its relative small size with striking use of color and exoticism.

Lawson Aircraft Company
Built: 1917
Style: Astylistic Utilitarian Building
Historically Significant
This building was constructed in 1917 for the Lawson Aircraft Company. The factory boasted over 13,000 square feet of assembly space, and was billed as the best facility in the country for airplane manufacture. The factory was the dream of Alfred Lawson, who convinced Green Bay investors to back his plan to build airplanes for the U.S. military during World War I. Unfortunately, the end of the war in November, 1918 doomed the company and the factory was closed by February, 1919.

Side-gabled house with an open, full width front porch upheld by four Tuscan Order wood columns. The porch roof covers the entrance vestibule consisting of two entrance doors. Two original thin, gable roof, pedimented dormers face the front of the house.

This building is reported to be the last remaining post-colonial period Fort Howard structure near the original site.

The remaining known buildings from Fort Howard were moved to Heritage Hill on Webster Avenue in the 1970s.
