#FlashbackFriday with the Historical Society: Rare view from around 1900 of present-day North & Main Streets intersection

Welcome to another week of #FlashbackFriday with the Whitewater Historical Society! This week’s photo is a rare view from around 1900. Looking eastwards, this is the intersection of the present-day North and Main Streets. The triangle-shaped area of grass would become home to the White Library Building and the famous Birge Fountain in 1903. The space is officially known today as Flat Iron Park, though it has also been called Triangle Park. Join us next week for more from the Whitewater Historical Society collections!
