A prime real estate property with a lot of history. Once a theater. After a fire and years of being a pit, area business leaders and labor unions turned it into Man-Lay Gardens (full history and photos in the first comment). McDonald’s build over the gardens. Howe’s moved their historic business to the location. Now it can be yours.

A piece of La Crosse history is ready for its next chapter.
The former home of Howes Diamond Jewelers is now for sale. For decades, this building was filled with celebrations, engagements, anniversaries, and memories that will last forever. Now, the opportunity is here for someone new to bring fresh life and vision to this iconic location.
Located in the heart of La Crosse, this beautiful space is full of character, history, and potential. Whether you dream of retail, office space, dining, or something completely unique, this building is ready for its next story to begin.
Interested buyers can reach out for more information or to schedule a showing. Don’t miss your chance to own a true landmark in La Crosse, Wisconsin. Click the link below for more information.

This "Membership Monday" helps us explain LADCO. We started in 1971 as a public-private partnership to attract businesses. With 80% of our growth coming from existing businesses, attraction is only 10% of what we do (the other 10% is start-up support).

All municipalities and private businesses benefit from growing our economy.

Today we thank the Village of West Salem, La Crosse County, and the Village of French Island for their support.
