Dennis Tully (dtully@wi.rr.com), director of the Burlington Historical Society, was kind enough to send me several interesting Racine pictures. Please stop by BHS's website to take a look at what he's put together: http://burlingtonhistory.org/

This photo must be the original for the 6th-and-College postcard over on the Postcards section. I especially like the children standing on the sidewalk watching the photographer work.
