| Additional Comments |
A 'site file' (Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railway, Passenger Depot & Division Headquarters) 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, Division of Historic Preservation-Public History. Entablature with plain cornice and parapet visually supported by four brick piers that divide the facade and rest on the high concrete base. Three panes over clear plate glass windows. Having retained good architectural integrity both on the exterior and interior, the Burlington Railroad Station is a significant example of public buildings influenced by the Neo-classical style in La Crosse. The Burlington Railroad arrived in La Crosse in 1885. It became a major transportation link in a north-south line running along the east bank of the Mississippi River. The CBQ alarmed the steamboat industry which also provided north south linkages. The CBQ established huge rail yards in the neighborhood of its North La Crosse Depot. This depot was constructed to serve as a combination passenger depot, express office and railroad headquarters, replacing an old frame structure. |
