Security Bank


Part of the fun of doing this blog is the detective work involved in tracking down dates and facts about the materials I showcase here.  And it's the little things inside these photos that make dating them either a breeze or an exercise in frustration.  Until I noticed that the Bank of Menasha was suddenly being billed as "Security Bank," I thought this was just another late 1970's picture of the square.  But thanks to the internet, I've determined that this photo dates between 1983 and 1985. See below:

1983-03-21BANK OF MENASHA was renamed to SECURITY BANK.
1985-12-06SECURITY BANK was renamed to FIRST WISCONSIN BANK OF MENASHA.
1988-09-12FIRST WISCONSIN BANK OF MENASHA was renamed to FIRST WISCONSIN BANK OF APPLETON and moved to 212 NORTH DURKEE STREET APPLETON, WI.
1992-09-14FIRST WISCONSIN BANK OF APPLETON was renamed to FIRSTAR BANK APPLETON.
