| Additional Information: | The Eagles Club was evidently inspired by Jacobean Architecture. The brick building is symmetrically composed (an H in plan). Two story bay windows dominate the front projecting wings, casement windows are surrounded by crosetted frames. Although Tudor Revival residences appear in the city, this is the best example of the revival of English Medieval styles for a large public-oriented building. A 'site file' exists for this property. It contains additional information such as correspondence, newspaper clippings, or historical information. It is a public record and may be viewed in person at the Wisconsin Historical Society, Division of Historic Preservation-Public History. |
