Abstract	View from street level of Jacob's 2nd Hand Store, located at 219-227 Pearl Street in La Crosse, WI. Awnings and windows are visible advertising "Jacob's Stoves & Ranges" and "Jacob's Furniture Store as well as rubbers and tennis shoes. The alley to the left of the building shows three delivery trucks in the distance. This building is known as the Fred Kroner Building and was built in 1868. From the Wisconsin Historical Society, "Projecting moulded brick cornice with parapeet above; projecting triangular pediment shaped window heads with floral ornament over two over two windows iron pilasters with scroll capitals remain from 19th century store front. The Kroner Building makes an important contribution to the streetscape of Pearl Street. However the Voegle Block at 211-215 Pearl is a better example of the modest early commercial structures in downtown La Crosse. The store front has been greatly altered although the cast iron columns remain. Constructed in 1867 by Fred Kroner who used the structure for hardware store until 1875 when he built another store at 116-118 South Pearl Street. Fred Kroner retaiend ownerrship until his death in 1907 when it became part of his estate. The structure was sold as rental property, housing O.C. Hals Drug Store in the late 1880s and Jacobs Furniture in the early 20th century."
