Property Features
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.
