2015- "The Smith/Bentley House is an excellent example of a mid-19th century vernacular two-story, wood frame residence. The Upright and Wing form of this modest residence was very popular in the mid-1800s, and can be seen in many of the historic La Crosse neighborhoods. The street-facing section of the house is two stories high with an east-west single-story wing. The otherwise plain exterior is ornamented by decorative scrollwork in the gable end and a rounded entry with transom window.

The Smith/Bentley House has been completely restored and is now a guest house for the Bentley-Wheeler Bed and Breakfast."
