We all know washing our hands is very important to slow the spread of illness but many people may not know how the Near West Side played a role in keeping Milwaukeeans hands clean for over 100 years.

It was in 1917 when Harry Bradley the founder of the Allen Bradley Corporation came up with a way to have workers wash their hands faster. Check out this link for more information. The building that was home to this revolutionary way of washing hands and The Bradley Washfountain Company was 2205 W. Michigan and still stands today and ready for a buyer.
