GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) –The former Green Bay home of Stephen Preisler, the drug dealer and author known as “Uncle Fester,” has been torn down, leaving just an empty lot.

The home was located at 826 Baird St., not far from Optimist Park.

In August 2023, the City of Green Bay sued Preisler to have his property shut down or demolished. This past June, the city dropped that lawsuit, after Preisler sold the home.

The house was reportedly sold in May for $65,000. It’s not yet clear when the demolition process began.
