HISTORY

The Treasury was once known as the Wisconsin State Bank and has been home to a variety of businesses over the years aside from a financial institution.  The building, located in downtown Delavan, Wisconsin, is recognized nationally as a historic landmark and was built as a bank in 1909. 

Many ornate details & materials from the original construction remain today and this building is truly a gem.  The exterior is composed of rich, copper-red brick and limestone with soaring, almost floor to ceiling arched windows and even a vintage burglary alarm box.  

Built on the southwest corner of the block, the grand main level ballroom boasts fantastic natural light, an antique bank vault (one of four in building), sixteen foot ceilings lined with original large wooden beams & other materials from the initial 1909 construction including beautiful green and white marble along the lower walls, true to its era.  

DOWNTOWN DELAVAN CHARM

The bank is perched on the corner of a red brick street lined with antique green rod-iron street lanterns and has beautiful street appeal, along with many beautiful photo backdrops within walking distance.  The entire block is recognized by the national registry of historical landmarks and has a rich, interesting history dating back to the age of glaciers carving out the region, early Potawotomi Indian and pioneer settlements, and even home to the P.T. Barnum Circus "The Greatest Show on Earth" founded here in 1871.  

THE AREA

The bank is conveniently located near major highways & interstates for easy travel and situated directly in the heart of downtown with close proximity to beautiful parks, lakes, landmarks, churches, hotel accommodations, and more.  There is ample free street parking near entrances and free municipal lots on the same block, which can easily accommodate our anticipated capacitys.  The downtown is lined with quaint shops, restaurants, other historic landmarks, beautiful scenery, and attractions to visit while you're here too!  There are also many hotel accommodations in close proximity to our space, some even walking distance!
