Historic Campus Dames brunch tours Murphy home in La Crosse
The Campus Dames held a spring brunch Saturday at 126 S. 15th St as Mrs. Eugene Murphy hosted guests. Attendees viewed the 1895 Colman residence including a Lyon and Healy piano and an heirloom table. Researchers cataloged builder Lucius C. Colman and life in La Crosse around 1900, noting a brick veneer addition in 1904 and a $12 tax bill with one car in 1900 versus today’s 18,000 vehicles.
