It’s time once again for #FlashbackFriday with the Whitewater Historical Society.
Our final image in the historic houses in Whitewater series is another stereoscope taken around 1870. Perhaps overlooked at 522 W. Main St., the Sanger Marsh House is a fine example of an Italianate Style house built in 1861 by local builder Nelson Salisbury, who built several cream brick houses in a similar manner in Whitewater.
Sanger Marsh was a prominent businessman who helped found the First National Bank in Whitewater in 1863. This bank was the first public bank in the community and lasted until the 1930s, when it merged with the Citizens State Bank to become the First Citizens State Bank of Whitewater that we all know today.
Join us next week for more from the Whitewater Historical Society.
