Thomas R. Bentley

In the early 1870’s, Bentley joined the family’s building construction firm which was started the year he was born. Among the many projects completed under his supervision were the library at the University of Wisconsin, the Racine County Courthouse and the foundation of the current downtown post office. The Bentley family tradition continues in local building and construction.
