Attorney Albert G. Zimmerman (with cigar) and an unidentified man, enjoying the Lake Mendota breezes while seated on a rustic bench behind Zimmerman's lakeshore home at 746 East Gorham Street. Zimmerman was a law partner of Robert M. La Follette, Sr., and later a judge. According to local lore, the original property owner, William Leitch, grew the willow trees in the picture from cuttings from Napoleon's grave on St. Helena. |
