Powell Place is a historic Italianate commercial landmark offering a rare leasing opportunity in one of downtown La Crosse’s most character-rich buildings. Originally constructed in 1873 by Benjamin Healey, this red-brick structure features classic architectural detailing including metal window hoods, ornate cornices, and stately column elements that define its historic presence. The building is also historically significant for its association with Dr. David Franklin Powell, a notable local figure who served as an army scout, surgeon, Buffalo Bill Wild West Show participant, patent medicine entrepreneur, and four-time mayor of La Crosse. His office was located in the building from 1881 to 1891, adding to its deep historical relevance. Powell Place underwent a full interior renovation in 1983, transforming it into a unique retail environment featuring an interior “mall plan” layout with hallways connecting multiple tenant spaces. This design creates a centralized pedestrian flow ideal for retail, service, and dining tenants. The east end of the building has historically supported specialty restaurant uses, further enhancing its destination appeal. Individually listed on the National Register of Historic Places, Powell Place offers approximately 21,682 rentable square feet of flexible commercial space in a high-traffic downtown location.
