Bank of Menasha

This is the old Bank of Menasha corner.  If you zoom in enough, you can see the name of the bank above the door on the right side of the building.  Notice the wood plank sidewalks and the almost unobstructed view all the way back to Little Lake Butte des Morts.  This photograph dates between 1870, when the bank was founded by Mr. Henry Hewitt under the name of the National Bank of Menasha and 1885, when City Hall was built and which would then be visible in the photo. 

More about Mr. Hewitt tomorrow.
