Eau Claire: Dormers

Dormers appear with 1.5-, 2.5-, and 3.5- story houses.  Only one percent of Eau Claire houses have dormers, but 54 percent of all dormers were built in the 1910s - 1920s!  In the next two decades, an additional 28 percent were built. Dormers are essentially associated with Cubic, Bungalow, and Cape Cod styles.
