| Additional Comments | This very fine two-story brick and limestone Neo-Classical Revival style building was built for the Fisrt National Bank of Viroqua in 1908 to a design by the La Crosse firm of Parkinson & Dockendorff. The bank still occupies the building today and it was surveyed by the SHPO in 1976. The building was sandblasted c. 1989. |
