- Description
This image is from Volume 1 of 100 years of pictorial & descriptive history of Wisconsin Rapids, Wisconsin, while the quoted description is from Volume 2. "The building nearest the bridge was that of Jos. Le Madelin; the 2nd was a saloon; 3rd a tailor shop; 4th Saul Preston's blacksmiths shop. Beyond that was a warehouse and livery stable. The picture to the right of this shows a view of the west side, with the River Block cleared, but Mackinnon block in evidence, the old Nels Johnson store across the street to the south; the Centralia Hardware Co. next to the frame warehouse which was originally built by H. W. Jackson and occupied by him as Postmaster for 21 years. A part of the same store he rented to G. A. Corriveau for his mercantile store. The next is a frame saloon building office. Setting back farther is a two story frame dwelling, located about where Geo. Baker was born. He was the 1st white child born in the city. This was removed later by Normington Bros. and their laundry
