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

Greetings from Whitewater!! This post card dates to around 1910 and features some of the most modern buildings of that era. The Walworth Hotel was built in 1890 and the railroad depot was completed in 1891. The photo of Old Main features the 1897 front addition and City Hall was completed in 1899. The Masonic Temple and the White Library both date from 1904 and the hospital was opened in 1909. The downtown photo has a couple of early 20th century automobiles on Main St. Clearly, this post card was meant to show that Whitewater was a “modern” 20th century city.

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