Knapp-Stout & Co. Company Photos Archive. In 1846 the
partners John H. Knapp, Henry L. Stout, William Wilson, and
Andrew Tainter founded the Knapp, Stout Company, which then
began its long and profitable career in the lumber industry,
first in Wisconsin and later expanding to adjoining states.
Benefiting by superior leadership and a strategic location in
Menomonie, the company withstood the financial crises of the
1870's by plowing its earnings back into large-scale timberland
investments, improvements, and enlargements of its physical
facilities as well as by integrating and diversifying its
operations. In 1878 the company easily made the transition from
a partnership organization to a corporation, changing its name
to The Knapp-Stout and Co., Company, which title it retained
until its dissolution in the early years of the 20th century.

Milwaukee Neighborhoods: Photos and Maps 1885 - 1992
presents images of Milwaukee neighborhoods from the Far
Northwest Side to the Far South Side. The selection of images is
limited by the current boundaries of the city of Milwaukee. The
digital collection provides a visual documentation of the
development of the city of Milwaukee from the mid-1880s to the
early 1990s. It includes images of residential and industrial
facilities, local businesses, historic buildings, churches, and
numerous Milwaukee parks. 832 photographs were selected from the
collections of the American Geographical Society Library and the
Archives Department at the University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee
Libraries. The photos of Milwaukee from 1885 and 1895 come from
two rare books in the Archives' holdings: Milwaukee
and Art Work of Milwaukee. The images of Milwaukee
in the 20th century were selected from three extensive
photograph collections: Roman Kwasniewski Collection and Dennis
Wierzba Collection that are housed in the Archives, and Harold
Mayer Collection, located in the American Geographical Society
Library at UWM Libraries. The image collection is accompanied by
12 maps of Milwaukee from the holdings of the American
Geographical Society Library.
