History of the House
The journey of discovery concerning the birthplace home of Curly Lambeau began in the summer of 2003. After reading a book about Curly Lambeau, it was decided that an attempt be made to find his birthplace home.
Various places in Brown County containing historical records were visited throughout the summer and fall of 2003. Despite many hours of research, it was only after a family friend casually mentioned that streets in East Green Bay had been numbered in the late 19th Century rather than having their current names. Subsequent research then lead to the discovery of the Curly Lambeau's birthplace home at 615 North Irwin Avenue.
History of Nicolet Elementary
Nicolet Elementary School, located at 600 North Irwin Avenue, opened in 1939. It replaced the old Woelz School, built in 1889, that was one of the first school facilities in the Green Bay community. Woelz originally was called the East River School and it was located on the corner of Cedar and Willow Streets. Eventually the name was changed to Woelz in honor of a pioneer who settled in the area. Perhaps the longest tenured principal at Woelz was Alice Lefebvre who served in that position from 1912-1932.
