The young lady in the vintage photo from the 1920s is Betty Nelson of West Bend. She moved to town from New York with her parents and they lived in a home near McLane School.
Hi Judy, this home which was razed to make way for McLane school in the late 1930’s was originally built by August C. Fuge Sr., founder of Fuge Hardware. The large Fuge barn stood nearby on the site of the old St. Joseph’s Hospital. This home has always reminded me of the old renovated home in the Christmas classic “It’s a Wonderful Life”.
