West Bend, WI – The history photo of Plischounig’s gift and record store was 103 S. Main Street in West Bend, Wi. This week’s photo is a panoramic view of West Bend from 1895. Can you identify…
The location is currently home to Big Brothers Big Sisters of Washington County. The photo dated to 1940.
Over the years that same building had been home to the Green Fern Tavern and Midway Food Store.
The reflection in the window of the photo was likely the Peter’s Store, a department/mercantile store. “Many people today would know it as the Sears store,” said Gene Wendelborn from the Historical Society.
This week’s photo is a panoramic view of West Bend from 1895.
Can you determine what direction the photographer was facing, name the street in the foreground and identify at least four of the 10 buildings still standing today?
