Eau Claire: Cutstone Walls

Expensive houses were completely covered with cutstone, but most houses only use a little bit of it to highlight front-facing walls or picture windows.  The majority of cutstone houses were built from the 1930-1959, with 30% being built in the 1950s alone.

 

A map of Eau Claire shows no distinctive pattern: cutstone is used on many houses across the city.
