- Description
This photograph shows the intersection of W Wisconsin Ave and N Plankinton Ave. The image has been altered to show how the street will appear after alterations (which took place in 1951). Three major buildings are visible. They are, from left to right, the Plankinton Building, the Caswell Building, and the Empire Building (which includes the Riverside Theater). The 1939 movie, "Beware Spooks!" is playing at the Riverside. Electric lines had previously crisscrossed between the buildings over the street, but have been removed from this image.
