Historical Buildings in Downtown Eau Claire



Eau Claire High School


Eau Claire has two public high schools within Eau Claire Area School District: Memorial High School and North High School. Memorial High School was built in 1925. However, its enrollment was in 1737, with a staff of over 150. It was built on a three-block campus at that time. The school's mascot is Old Abe. Now both schools have moved out to new campus.





Christ Church Cathedral

This is an excellent example of early twentieth century Neo-Gothic Church architecture. It was designed by the Minneapolis firm of Purcell, Feick, and Elmslie. It was constructed over the period from 1910-1916.

  2. Sian,

    I like your pictures too. It can be noted that the old high school is now the administration building for the school district.
