Standing on Racine


We first met young Mr. Loescher back in January.  See this link:

Here, in an alternate photograph, Clarence, having now dismounted, now stands in front of his father's hardware store on the Racine Street side.  The exposure problems give his horse an otherworldly appearance.  This photo dates from, roughly, 1905/1906 or thereabouts.

    Note the fire hydrant in 1905/06? Was there a Menasha water works close to downtown? That had to be the early days of water treatment and distribution pipelines.
