City of La Crosse C. F. STRUCK, architect, was born in Christiania, Norway, in 1842; son of H. H. Struck, who came to the United States in 1864, settled in Chicago, and died there in 1878. Mr. Struck went to Marquette, Mich., in 1873, to superintend the erection of a bank building, and soon after opened an office and commenced business for himself. While there, he built the Episcopal Church of that place, which is of brown stone and cost $50,000. He also built a $30,000 schoolhouse and a $30,000 opera house, both of brown stone, and several dwelling-houses. He came to La Crosse in 1877 from Marquette, and since here has built Germania Hall, the cooling and ice-houses of the John Gund Brewing Company, S. Heilemann and C. & J. Michel, and also remodeled the International Hotel. [I am not related to this family and have no further information.
