The first electrical power plant in Mineral Point was built for use in zinc processing and then for street lighting. This plant was built between 1908 and 1915 and was operated by the Mineral Point Public Service Co. In 1924 the plant was sold to the Wisconsin Power & Light Co. It now appears to be privately owned and no longer a power plant.
We had a long weekend of fun with our daughter and family at Sturgeon Bay in Door County, Wisconsin. It is located in far NE Wisconsin and straddles both sides of the inlet between Lake Michigan and Green Bay. Visit rosy-finch.blogspot.com

Built in 1906 and renovated circa 1930, this Renaissance Revival-style theater was designed by Claude and Starck, and features an Art Deco-style marquee and first floor front facade, and originally served as a vaudeville theater before becoming a movie theater. The building is clad in Art Moderne-style enameled metal panels on the first floor with a marquee featuring neon lights above the entrance, an Art Moderne-style ticket booth with curved corners and curved glass, and four entrance doors flanked by poster display cases. The upper portion of the building displays the original style of the facade, with painted brick cladding, limestone trim, a large five-part arched window on the second floor of the front facade above the marquee, flanked by pilasters, a cornice at the top of the second floor, blind bays on the fourth floor framed by stone trim with a large decorative cornice above, and a cornice with dentils and modillions at the top of the parapet, which obfuscates the building’s low-slope roof. The building has a footprint that bends from King Street to the stage, which sits adjacent to Doty Street, with this being very evident inside the building. The building today serves as a live performance venue, with the original wall paneling, vaulted ceiling, proscenium arch, box seats, and plaster trim on the second floor of the space being intact. The theater primarily hosts live musical acts, occasionally being used to screen televised events or movies, or being used as an event venue.
