It’s time once again for #FlashbackFriday with the Whitewater Historical Society. This week’s winter view is of the west side of Whitewater Street, across from the depot. The photograph is one-half of an old stereocard from around 1880. The building in the foreground with the sign that says “Whitewater Hotel” is where the current “Sweet Spot” cafe is located. But, it is not the same building. The building seen in this photo burned down about 1890 and was replaced by the current building (the old 20th century Whitewater Hotel) in 1892.

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