Although the store front has been altered greatly, the structure, a good example of the Commercial Italianate style, has retained notable architectural character that contributes to the 19th century appearance of LaCrosse's Third Street. Constructed in 1875, the two store structures housed the O.C. Hals Drug Store in the North Side in 1891. |
