WSU students present plans for LaCrosse stone houses

Washington State University students presented six possible projects for the stone houses in LaCrosse to the town's Community Pride group last month.

The students, from the fourth year Interior Design Community Studio, presented the projects in collaboration with LaCrosse Community Pride and community members in LaCrosse on re-purposing the historic rock houses on Main Street in LaCrosse.

The six rock houses were built in LaCrosse in the 1920s soon after the town was incorporated in 1917. They were used as weekly and monthly rentals for crews who worked on the Union Pacific railroad.
