#FlashbackFriday with the Historical Society: Main Street c.1920

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

This view of Main Street in Whitewater dates from c.1920. One good way of dating Main Street photos is by looking at the old Commercial Bank building, left center. This building was constructed in 1914 for the new Commercial and Savings Bank, established 110 years ago in 1913. Of course, the bank became just the Commercial Bank, which more recently became the PremierBank. The bank moved from this distinctive Classical Revival building to a modern bank building designed in an even more distinctive Wrightian contemporary architectural style where it is located today.

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