Tour to the Downtown

This is a federal court.
This is a church at the opposite side of the river, and it surves only Spanish people. There is an other church nearby which surves only Jews.
Behind me is the Phoenix Park, that area was the early settlement of Frenches, but most of them didn't settle down; they  traded with the Indians here.
Sawdust City Matures, built in 1893-94, is the largest remaining commercial building in this city.

The City Hall and the old public library, built in 1916 and 1903. They remind us that Eau Claire was one of the first towns in WI to adopt the Commission form of government.
The first brick house here. Fire is one of the greatest problems here in the early ages.

  2. Hi Teddy,
    The first brick house is interesting to me! It's amazing that it still exists. When was it built?(I'm just curious.)
