Historic Intersection
| Elevated view of intersection of the Janesville Plank Road and North Cape Road at Hales Corners, also showing Schubrino's Saloon. The Janesville road, sometimes known as the Milwaukee-Janesville Plank Road, dates to 1849, and it was for many years a major route for the transport of agricultural products to Milwaukee. Both roads still exist, although the Janesville Road, now a major divided highway, no longer includes a reference to its origins as a plank road in its name. Even in 1917, when this photograph was taken, no evidence of its history as a plank road was apparent. |
