tour to downtown

     This week I have a tour to downtown with my lovely partner Safa. We visted several historical buildings and took some pictures there. Walking in Eau Claire at afternoon is a very comfortable thing. The scenery of Chippewa River is really amazing and we enjoy talking to each other on the way.
      The first building we visit is Herman Schlegemilch. It is the first brick house in Eau Claire since 1871. The brick house is better than wood house to decrease the fire risky. Although it is nearly 140 years old, it still looks very new from outside.
      And then, the Cameron-Drummond Slagsvold Bldg is the most impressive building in our tour. I love its shape, just like a castle. It is used to be the largest commercial building in Eau Claire
        Through this tour, I learn a lot about downtown. At least, I know how to walk to downtown from campus.

  1. The interesting thing is we don't have to go far away from the campus to learn about cultural buildings because they are all just in downtown!
