These two buildings of an original three-building block were designed in the Italianate style, elements of which are visible above the first story. While this block housed a variety of businesses, it is historically significant for its association with Robert "Fighting Bob" La Follette, Wisconsin governor (1901-1906) and later US senator(1906-1925). One of this nation's most famous Progressive politicians and reformers, he located his nationally known Progressive Journal La Follette's Weekly (1919-1929) in the upper floors of this building.

Designated July 11, 1994
