This building was designed by Purcell and Elmslie of Minneapolis, the mostprolific architectural firm working in the tradition of Frank Lloyd Wright’sPrairie School. It is an example of that firm’s work in the area of smalland relatively inexpensive residences. Purcell and Elmslie built numeroussuch homes in the newly developing middle class neighborhoods ofsouthwestern Minneapolis in the decade before World War I, most notablythe Purcell-Cutts House (1913).
The two-story colossal columns, which support a pediment-like gable, aretypical of this style of architecture. The building has remained essentiallyunchanged except for the addition of a full second-story balcony on theLake Street side. Dewitt Clark settled in Eau Claire in 1862 and was abanking partner of Orrin H. Ingram. Clark died in 1882, and his wifeNancy later built this house. In 1919, the house was sold to H.D. Davis.
And when I go out, i think the fall in Eau Claire is beatiful
I like your first picture and the last one too. The first one makes me feel really good because the old house and the old car are together. The last one, I like the maple trees too, especially in Fall.
