Help Us Preserve Two Irreplaceable Pieces of La Crosse History

Restore the Cobblers Shop & Greek Revival House

These historic structures on 426 6th Street North are owned and maintained by the Preservation Alliance. These buildings stand as rare surviving examples of our city's early working class architecture.

Your support for our ongoing restoration campaign will help ensure these landmarks remain for future generations to visit, learn from, and enjoy.
