On the Waterfront

 

September 11, 1970, Neenah-Menasha Daily Northwestern

Here's a rare up-close view of a former waterfront business, this one from fifty years ago.  To the left, you can glimpse the back of the recently vacated public library which fronted Mill Street since 1897.  The Anchor Inn would go through several iterations before its eventual demise; in fact, in later years, the whole block would disappear with the advent of an office building and parking lot.  But back in 1970, this was one of the downtown dining options.  If memory serves me, the last time I ate there was in 1980, after returning from an Army tour of Alaska.
