The George Sr. and Ellen Banta House is located at 348 Naymut Street in Menasha, Wisconsin.
History Originally built in 1878, the house on Doty Island underwent significant renovations in 1888.
The house was originally occupied by George Banta (1857–1935) and his second wife Ellen (1866–1951). Banta, who also became a prominent local politician, began producing prints on a small press in the dining room of the house, an endeavor which eventually turned into the Banta Corporation. Its plant and headquarters (from 1911 to 1988) were a few blocks away, at Ahnaip and Racine streets.
In 1997, the house was added to both the state and the National Register of Historic Places.
