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

This is the last of our winter images of downtown Whitewater. It was taken in front of the Van Voorhees 1890 addition to the Armory block and the Julius Johnson Block (buildings with the bay windows). Henry Van Voorhees built the Armory Block (200-206 W. Whitewater St.) in 1887, then built the two-storefront addition in 1890. Johnson’s one-storefront building was also constructed in 1890. The bay windows were typical details of late 19th century commercial buildings and help make this building group one of the most elegant in Whitewater’s downtown.

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