James Sheeley House, Italianate landmark in Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin.
The James Sheeley House presents a brick exterior with decorative brackets under wide eaves and tall, narrow windows characteristic of 1860s commercial architecture.
Built in 1868 by Carl Hering, the structure transformed from a residence with a carriage shop into a boarding house when John B. Paul purchased it in 1884.
The establishment operated as both a saloon and boarding house, with Kate Sheeley managing meals while James Sheeley maintained the bar operations until 1913.
Located at 236 West River Street, this National Register of Historic Places building now functions as a restaurant, maintaining its original architectural elements.
Frank LaCour, known as Frenchy, served drinks at the saloon for nearly thirty years until its closure in 1967, marking a significant period in local history.
