This house, at 328 Broadway, Eau Claire, is an example of Carpenter's Gothic. It was built about 1875 by A. P. Wilder and was owned by Charles Ingram. Characteristic details include wooden ornaments at peaks of gables, in verge boards under gables and on porches. Even porch railings and aprons sometimes have patterns sawed from pieces of wood. Designs may also be holes and slots cut out of wood or pieces applied to other boards.
Brackets appear on porch posts and cornices.
Ornaments depend more on whim of the carpenter- builder than on any architectural style. The era of this style was mostly 1870 - 1910. Located at 1501 State Street, Eau Claire, this house is an example of a combination of Victorian Italianate architecture with brackets, corbeled window hoods and an Italianate tower with the stick style porch with fancy carving and an exterior frame with shingles, panels of carved ornaments. This house was built around 1880. Tall, slender windows and pillared porches with a cupola and balconies are other features of this style.
