“It’s changing,” La Crosse resident Betty Niebuhr-Bailey said. “It’s becoming more modern.”
The building at the corner of 3rd & Cameron Streets is an original.
“The building was built in 1896,” Betty said. “It’s a beautiful building.”
Betty has family ties to this structural antique.
“Late 20s, early 30s my grandfather bought the building,” Betty said. “And then it became Niebuhr Plumbing.”
Betty says her father, oldest brother, second brother, and mother all took over the building for periods of time before it was Betty’s property.
