Additional Information: | The original courthouse is now only one wing of the current courthouse complex, and, as such, is of little individual architectural significance aside from its cornice and other detailing. See "Whitehall History" section for details of teh Trempealeau County Courthouse "War" which finally locates the Trempealeau County Seat in Whitehall. 2013 DOT survey found building gone- further research indicates it was demolished in 1981. |
