A quick background on Wilson Triangle and Robert Wilson:
"Robert A. Wilson deserves much credit for his contribution to Kenosha's upbuilding and improvement. When he turned his attention to the contracting business in 1893, the west side of the city, known as Snakeville, was little more than a swamp. He began buying lots and exploiting the interests and
advantages of the west side, and today one of the attractive and substantial business and residence districts of the city is a monument to his enterprise, business ability and public spirit."
"...Mr. Robert A. Wilson, however, believed that there was excellent opportunity for the development of this section and began buying lots and exploiting his property. In 1904 he erected a business block two stories in height, forty-five by fifty feet, at No. 500 Howland Avenue [renamed 22nd Avenue]. This stands on a lot 109 and a half feet, 152 and a half feet on Elizabeth Street [renamed 63rd Street] with 188 feet on Salem avenue [renamed Roosevelt Road], being a triangle block. In 1905 he built another large building so as to cover the whole triangle lot. The entire building is two stories in height and contains four stores."
Now, Wilson triangle serves but 3 purposes:
1. Public Bus Stop
2. Traffic Annoyance
3. Geocache Refuge!
Parking for this cache is most easy accessed if you are approaching it from the East.
Please be aware that at certain times of day there will be a SIGNIFICANT muggle presence. Stealth is a necessity.
Congratulations to Tom K. with the FTF
