When this photo was taken the upper right had corner of this photo clearly shows what would become many years later Syverson Park. Moving clockwise is the backside of the white Methodist Church that for more than 100 years stood on East State Street replaced a few years ago with their new church at the same location.
Part of the Thoreson Lumber Company is located at the bottom right and not visible at the bottom of the photo, below the trees, is the Thoreson House home of the Westby Area Historical Society.
Monroe Street on the left at this time in 1921 is nothing more than a dirt path, but sidewalks are visible on the south side of the street.
Since Westby did not have a city sewer system until 1927, you will notice that scattered around town and very visible in this photo are numerous outhouses.
