Chapter  40 - Hotels of Eau Claire

Introduction

(-as transcribed from page 540 )

In a newly established village the local tavern or hotel in most eases becomes the village club, — the social and political center. And a hotel is among the first businesses to be opened. This was true in the village of Eau Claire in the fifties and sixties. This sketch will be divided into two parts, the first concerning the hotels of the present time, and the second part the hotels now out of business.

Of the present day hotels but three came down from ancient times,— the Eau Claire House, The Galloway House and the Kneer House.
