Farmers and Merchants Union Bank (Columbus, Wisconsin)

This bank building was one of the few "jewel box" banks designed by Louis Sullivan. This small bank of red/brown bricks has Sullivan's trademark terra cotta ornamental trim
It was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1976
The bank manager was glad not to have his bank used as a set for a robbery scene.

Beaver Dam, Wisconsin
Decked out with cactus props, Beaver Dam's Wisconsin's Ambassador Hotel is transformed into Tucson's Hotel Congress
Dillinger's Tucson Capture
January 1934 John Dillinger and his seven-member gang thought Tucson seemed like the perfect place to lay low.
Tucson Police in five hours, without firing a single shot, did what the combined forces of several states and the FBI had failed to do: Capture Public Enemy No. 1.
Dillinger was later sent to a jail in Crown Point, Ind. But on March 3, 1934, Dillinger forced the guards to open his cell door. He stole two machine guns and fled.
That's it for the Dillinger history lesson!

Located on a scenic hillside overlooking the Wisconsin River near Prairie du Sac, Wisconsin is the Wollersheim Winery.
This national historic site was first selected for vineyards in the 1840's by the Hungarian Count Agoston Haraszthy.
The limestone winery was built in the 1850's and today has become known as a leading winery in the Midwest.

I have driven many times past this Wisconsin farm. At 55 MPH, I didn't noticed advertising of a hotel in La Crosse. Taking a second glance I realized the Roesler's have a sense of humor.
Most farmers call their prized bovines "moo bossie" and Roesler calls his barn "Bossie mootel".

. . . . . . . .Michigan's M26, Eagle River Timber Bridge
Timber Bridge Linky
Michigan Highway 26 glue-laminated timber bridge spans the Eagle River. The bridge blends in well with the scenic Eagle River, and structurally it was designed to carry the same traffic loads as State Highway concrete and steel bridges.
The total length of the wooden bridge is just over 152 ft, and it stands 50 ft above the Eagle River. Supported by two, side-by-side 42 ft half arches spanning 75 ft, measure 60 in. deep and 14 in. wide., the bridge is primarily made of timber, with the connector parts made of steel. The bridge has 4-in. diameter chrome steel pins for any rotational movement of the arches.
Enough lumber was used in the bridge to build three or four average sized houses.
