Our Northside branch in Racine has completed its remodel. As you can see from the photos, the new open-concept look is smart and roomy, with lots of sunshine coming in to show off the lovely colors.

In the process of remodeling, the Northside team also found some old photos of the branch interior. Their best guess is that the pictures date from the early 1970s, following a previous redecoration of the space.

“There are some little items that still need finishing, but to have it done for the most part and be able to present it to our clients is a privilege, because it looks gorgeous,” branch manager Lisa Brooks says of the remodeled office. “Our favorite part is the lit halo on the ceiling and the new TV screens behind us that really pop when you enter the branch. Everyone who comes in comments on how bright, happy, modern, and clean the branch is— they can’t believe it’s the same building. We love our new branch and are incredibly proud of it.”
