Main Street and City Square


Let's end the week with a view of downtown taken from, most likely, the crosswalk in front of Schultz Bros.  It's an overcast early afternoon in 1974 as we view the city square area.  You can see the three main financial institutions of the city- Twin City Savings and Loan, the First National Bank, and the Bank of Menasha.  Also present- Morton Drug and the then-city offices in the old FNB building.  If you squint really hard, you can see the Gibson Chevrolet sign in the background, almost parallel to the Bank of Menasha's time and temperature sign.  I was in high school during this period and this is how I remember downtown.
