Sesquicentennial 46 4x3 Columbia Savings & Loan

[chime music]

- Mr. Halyard was my uncle, and he and Mrs. Halyard started Columbia Savings & Loan. This was his dream.

- George Gary: In the mid 70s, we were approached to develop an area in our city known as Halyard Park. I'm George Gary, president and CEO of Columbia Savings & Loan Association. I was a young loan officer right outta college. At that time, the area where Halyard Park is now was surrounded by dilapidated housing. We agreed to finance houses	for people who wanted to build new homes in Halyard Park.

- One of the best kept secrets in the city of Milwaukee, now I don't want y'all to go telling everybody.
