First Congregational Church Parsonage 403 Third Avenue 1915, Prairie School

Designed by the Minneapolis architectural firm of Purcell and Elmslie, this represents that firm's work in the area of small inexpensive residences. The parsonage was erected in 1915 on lots donated by the widow of Peter Truax. An 1855 settler and lumberman, Truax had a farm west of Eau Claire. He and his wife were supportive members of the Congregational Church.
