A new historic photo wrap has been added to many others around downtown Chippewa Falls. It is on the corner near Family Fare and shows the historic Chippewa Valley Auto Company building at 26 W Grand Ave.

Built in 1924, the Chippewa Valley Auto Company building may be better known to area residents as Montgomery Ward’s. MGM Liquor moved into the Bay Street side and was later renamed B&G for the intersection. The Legacy Community Center along with Agnes’ Table moved to the Grand Ave side recently in the former home of Lindsay’s on Grand and The Cabin restaurants.
