City Expansion

August 6, 1958, Appleton Post-Crescent

The 1950's saw unprecedented expansion for the city of Menasha and the logical place for it was the northeast corner of the city.  This photo, with the camera's lens pointed south towards Lake Winnebago and the river, highlights the expansion up front with the waterfront in the background.  More expansion in the same area would occur as the years went by, but this was the initial salvo in the movement of city boundaries northward.
