It’s time once again for #FlashbackFriday with the Whitewater Historical Society.

Continuing the theme of historic houses in Whitewater, this week we present an image of one of the best Queen Anne style houses in the area, the Engebretsen-Dorr House, built in 1895 and lovingly maintained for several decades by Rev. Gerald and Nancy Wendt. The house was built for local merchant and mayor Ed Engebretsen. His daughter, Ruth Engebretsen Dorr and her husband, John, lived in the house for many years in the mid-20th century. Ruth Dorr was an important local historian whose notes and writings are still used today at the historical society museum.

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