Contents: This interesting little booklet was commissioned by the Time Insurance Company of Milwaukee, Wisconsin on the occasion of its move in 1970 to its newly built headquarters in downtown Milwaukee. But the booklet doesn't focus on Time Insurance. Rather, it tells the story of ithe neighborhood where Time Insurance grew up and still lives: Kilbourntown. Kilbourntown is the area surrounding 5th and Wells. The book is essentially a history of the founding of Milwaukee, and then the development of the downtown area. The booklet contains several wonderful old photos, in which buildings still standing can be identified.
