These images were made during a journey down Rustic Road 74 in Florence County on June 21, 2017.
Located within the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest, R-74, a gravel route, passes the former Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) Camp Newald which operated from 1933–1942, and crosses the Popple River, a designated Wisconsin “Wild River.”
Wisconsin's Rustic Roads system was created to preserve many of the state's scenic, lightly traveled country roads. Features of Rustic Roads include rugged terrain, native vegetation and wildlife, or open areas with agricultural vistas.

Built in 1964-1965, this International Style Modern office building has surprisingly little information available about it. The building replaced the historic Vilas mansion, home to several notable early and prominent citizens of Madison, and a favorite building of Frank Lloyd Wright. The demolition of the mansion and construction of this building catalyzed the creation of the historic preservation movement in Madison and the state of Wisconsin, as it was massively out of scale with the surrounding buildings and the loss of a historical landmark as significant as the Vilas House made many in the community realize the need to protect the city’s historic resources. The building features a glass curtain wall, seemingly inspired by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, sandwiched between a parapet and floor structure clad in metal panels with a trapezoid geometric motif at the top and bottom, which is seemingly inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright, a recessed first floor with Le Corbusier-inspired pilotis, or exposed columns, around the perimeter of the floor, framing storefronts, and clad in stone panels, a penthouse with an oversized cap, exposed columns, and stone panel cladding, a low-slope roof, and a large lawn to the side and rear, which conceals the building’s underground parking garage. The building, despite being a quite excellent example of mid-20th Century modern architecture, is a noncontributing structure in the Mansion Hill Historic District, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1997. The building’s architecture seems to have escaped notice by the local architectural historian and history groups despite being a quite well-designed International Style building.
A most exciting visit to the Wisconsin State Fair with friends. Fried foods, cakes, and delicious treats. Thank you for this slice of the Midwest.
Kevin drives us back to his apartment after leaving the Safehouse. It was well after midnight and so officially Kevin's birthday. We sang him a round of Happy Birthday, which he said was the best rendition he's ever received.
Milwaukee, Wisconsin
Built in the mid-20th Century, this two-story Modern International Style office building is clad in buff brick with a low-slope roof enclosed by a parapet, ribbon windows, including those wrapping the front corner of the building framed by stone trim, a concrete base, and a side entrance vestibule with a sandstone wall and second floor with an extruded parapet, and a low-slope roof on the second floor of the entrance wing with wide overhanging eaves. The building is an excellent example of small-scale Modern architecture, and seems to draw some inspiration from the work of notable Wisconsin-native architect Frank Lloyd Wright in its design, though it was not designed by Wright.

Didn't expect the cherry flavor to be so strong. I didn't care for it all that much, although, it got better as it warmed.
