#FlashbackAnyday with the Historical Society: Old Main Before the Fire

It’s time once again for #FlashbackFriday with the Whitewater Historical Society. [#FlashbackAnyday due to the Banner falling behind.] This post is a follow-up to the Old Main posts that ran in February and March. It is a postcard, probably from the 1960s, that shows the entirety of Old Main before the fire of February 7, 1970.

Old Main’s final version was a beautiful Classical Revival style building that was a big loss to the campus when most of it was destroyed by the fire.

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