KNOW WHAT THIS IS?
This was the first shoe store in La Crosse.

Back in the early 1800's, if you needed a new pair of shoes, you came here and the cobbler would measure your feet and make you a pair with a perfect fit.  I'll bet they lasted a lot longer than a pair of today's shoes and we know they were a lot cheaper.

The old guy must have been a pretty good cobbler.  He was in business for over 60 years.

Where is this treasure from the past?  Right across the street from City Hall.
