| Exterior view of the Eau Claire Public Library. Copy of artist's rendering done in watercolor. The library opened in 1904 and was funded by a $40,000 donation from Andrew Carnegie. Lower left corner reads: "Patton E. Miller, Architects." Over the main entrance it reads: "Public Library." This differs from photographs of the building which reads: "Eau Claire Public Library." There are four Corinthian columns at the entrance and large arched windows along the two-story facade. |
