Text on front reads: "Washburn, Wisconsin." On reverse: "Washburn Historical Museum and Cultural Center. National Register of Historical Places. Washburn, Wisconsin." A group of pedestrians stand on the sidewalk near the entrance of the Cultural Center, and an antique automobile is parked in front on the sidewalk. More cars are parked on the left with dwellings and trees in the distance. This building was originally the Bank of Washburn, built in 1890 of brownstone in the Richardson Romanesque style. Restoration of the building began in 1991 and a celebration marked the grand opening of the Washburn Cultural Center in 1993.
