Late 19th Century Street Views



These views of Broad and Chute Streets in 1887 give one a good feel as to the rusticness of the city streets during that time.  Menasha's Main Street itself wasn't paved until 1910, so one can infer that it took the remainder of the teens and '20s to see the paving of neighborhood thoroughfares like this when the city budget allowed.  No shortage of trees, was there?!
