It’s time once again for #FlashbackFriday with the Whitewater Historical Society. This week’s image is a rare post card with a view marked “From Water Tower Towards Normal.” [The university was originally called Whitewater Normal School.] Given the appearance of Old Main, the view was probably taken around 1900. The perspective of a photo taken from the Water Tower is an image not seen in other photos in our collection. The view also shows some houses in this part of Whitewater, many of which might have been demolished for expansion of the university.

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