The Alexian Brothers' Novitiate manor house located in Gresham, Wisconsin was built in 1939 as a residence, converted into a novitiate for the Alexian Brothers' order in 1950 and ceased to be used as a novitiate, following the 1968 Second Vatican Council. The building is best known for being seized by the Menominee Warrior Society, a subset of the American Indian Movement, in 1975, with demands that it be turned over to the nearby Menominee Indian Reservation.
From a collection of over 100 posters collected in the 1970s at the University of Wisconsin, Madison.
