| Additional Information: | A 'site file' exists for this property. It contains additional information such as correspondence, newspaper clippings, or historical information. It is a public record and may be viewed in person at the Wisconsin Historical Society, State Historic Preservation Office. Stylized "rising sun" design in the pediment above the bracketed sheet metal cornice over the central front entrance and on the west side contrasging white stone belt courses above and below 2nd story windows; minor cornice at second level and above the stone front; fluted cast iron pilasters frome the recessed entrance door; glass store front has been replaced and door to upper story has been filled with brick. Exhibiting excellent architectural integrity, the Zeisler Buiding is one of the best examples of the small vernacular two story commercial building of Italianate influence still in extant in the commercial area. This certainly was built by Zeisler in order to sell his beer from his brewery much like the Gud brewery. Raymond Kiensle of La Crosse worked as a brick contractor. Royal L. Reynolds was a contractor for the foundation. |
