It’s time once again for #flashbackfriday with the Whitewater Historical Society.
This week is the last photo from the Robert Ortmann collection. Robert Ortmann was a student at UWW (Wisconsin State University-Whitewater) from 1967 to 1971. In the summer of 1970, Robert took extensive photos of the demolition of Old Main after the fire in February of 1970. This photo clearly shows the annex between the oldest part of the building and the East Wing that probably saved the wing from burning. Today, the wing is known as Hyer Hall.
Join us next week for more from the Whitewater Historical Society.
