It’s time once again for #FlashbackFriday with the Whitewater Historical Society. Easter weekend finds our local churches busy with both solemn and joyous services. This post card of the Congregational Church was probably taken shortly after the completion of the new addition along Franklin Street in 1926, given the vintage of the automobiles shown in the view.

The addition to the elegant 1885 Romanesque Revival style church building added classrooms, a gymnasium, a small chapel, two parlors, and an office and study. The architect of the addition was Hugo Hauser, a noted designer from Milwaukee, who used the then-popular Tudor Revival style on the addition.

Join us next week for more from the Whitewater Historical Society.
