Eau Claire: Yellowish Brick Walls

Light colored bricks characterize the 1950s  and the early 1960s.   Approximately 60% of yellow brick walls were constructed from 1950-1969.  These bricks were frequently used as facades in the front of houses, particularly under large picture windows.

A map of Eau Claire shows that yellow bricks are mainly in the suburban areas constructed during the 1950s and 1960s.
