The Wisconsin Historical Society notes this building as a “very fine example in well restored condition,” and “one of the most intact buildings of its era to survive in Green Bay.” Wright’s Green Bay City Directory of 1898 notes that Joseph Zeutzius, the builder of this property, operated a saloon on the first floor and lived in the second floor. Over 111 years later this building is still used as a saloon—Top Hat Club, with a rental unit on the second floor. The interior of the building maintains many original elements, including an oak back bar with a carved female head and embedded stained glass ornamentation.
