This is the First Congregational Church Parsonage. It was designed and bulit by Purcell and Elmslie of Minneapolis. They also built numerous similar houses in the middle class neighbourhoods of southern Minneapolis before World War One. However, the church no longer owns this residence and its facade has also been altered in the mid-twentieth century.
This dignified building is the First Baptist Church. It was constructed and designed by a pastor of the Baptist congregation, George Stair. This is a fine example of Gregorian Revival architecture.
I really like the architecture of the second building. Could you please tell me where is it located?
ReplyDeleteThe same with Fer, I adore the beauty of the second building. But the first one is also interesting. I bet you had a great fun exploring Eau Claire and also finding these two gorgeous buildings.
ReplyDeleteThe two buildings are quite different,I like them!
