Jung Shoe Manufacturing Company Factory
The Jung Shoe Manufacturing Company Factory is a Neoclassical factory building in Sheboygan, Wisconsin, constructed in 1906. It features symmetrical windows, solid brick walls, and decorative details including a cornice and arched entrances typical of early 20th-century industrial architecture.
The company was founded in 1892 by Otto Jung and his brother Henry as a shoe wholesaler, later moving into factory production on Eighth Street. It operated as an active manufacturing center from 1909 to 1988, shaping nearly a century of shoe production in the region.
The name Jung reflects the founding family who built and shaped the company over generations. The building now sits within a residential neighborhood and speaks to a time when shoe manufacturing was central to the community's identity.
The building is located on South Eighth Street and is easily accessible due to its central location in Sheboygan. Today it serves as The Henry Jung Apartments residential complex, allowing visitors to view it from the street and appreciate the architecture from ground level.
The building is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and was converted in 1992 into The Henry Jung Apartments residential complex. This transformation gave the historic structure new life while preserving its architectural value for future generations.
