Property Features
2015- "The Frank Burton House has a rectangular front-gabled mass with decoartive gables, full-width open porch and small rectangular bay. Vertical and horizontal banding in the gable ends and bargeboard decoration show some Late Victorian Stick elements, but the asymmetry, open porch, colored glass windows and decorative cladding reflect the Queen Anne style.
Frank Burton was a grain broker and customs agent who was born in Chicago in 1847 and moved to La Crosse in 1868. Burton was murdered by a disgruntled riverboat worker during a Republican Party campaign march in downtown La Crosse just days before he was to occupy the home. The murderer was subsequently killed by the angry mob. Burton family members resided here until the early 1960s when the home was converted to a duplex. A complete restoration and conversion back to a single family home was recently accomplished."
