History

Constructed in 1878, the building was the second to house the asylum. The asylum was operated by the Daughters of Charity of Saint Vincent de Paul and the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Milwaukee.[3][4]

More recently, the building has been used as a daycare and early education center. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987 and the State Register of Historic Places in 1989.[5]
