| CN local crosses Washington St. after servicing Chemtrade (formerly General Chemical Corp.) via former C&NW rails on Doty Island at Menasha, WI on 17 Nov. '17. The awesome, old building at left is currently home to Expert Driveline Truck & Auto Repair, 216 Washington St. Built in '35 for Verbrick's Service Co., Norbert F. Verbrick, proprietor; it operated as such until '84. Designed by Henry Auler in the Tudor Revival style, it and the adjacent building at 214 Washington St. (originally offices of Northwest Electrolyte and Engraving, also designed by Auler in the Tudor Revival style), partially visible above the rear of the locomotive, were erected on what had long been a stave yard for the Menasha Wooden Ware Co., currently known as Menasha Corp. When the building was constructed in '35, then Washington Ave. was also Hwy. 41. |
