National Register of Historic Places - Cobblestone House (Eau Claire, Wisconsin)
Statement of Significance: Cobblestone architecture was imported into Wisconsin by settlers who came from upper New York State around Rochester, where cobblestone construction was common. Most of the New Yorkers who came to Wisconsin settled in the southeastern counties and it is in these counties that almost all of Wisconsin's cobblestone buildings are located. The Cobblestone House in Eau Claire is the only known example of cobblestone architecture in northwestern Wisconsin. Another peculiarity of the Cobblestone House in Eau Claire is that it is constructed in the Gothic Revival style rather than in the Greek Revival style which was by far the most common style for cobblestone buildings.
