A 'site file' exists for this property. It contains additional information such as correspondence, newspaper clippings, or historical information. It is a public record and may be viewed in person at the Wisconsin Historical Society, State Historic Preservation Office. The Cornelius Webster residence is a single story brick structure, a distinctive dwelling within a neighborhood of two story frame homes. Generally L-shaped in plan, the building features long segmental arch openings and in the main gable a delicate trefoil window. A veranda supported by columns provides additional detail. The house is in excellent condition, the interior unaltered except for the modernization of the kitchen in the 1950s. Cornelius L. Webster, a mason and contractor, built this home in 1881. Ten years later the Websters sold the property to Henry Van Hovenberg. In 1951 Mr. and Mrs. Leonard Larson purchased the house, which became an Eau Claire Landmark in 1978. 2016- "Brick veneer on a one-story L-shaped house such as this was unusual for Eau Claire in the 1880s. The selection of the building material reflected the occupation of the owner, Cornelius Webster, who was a bricklayer and contractor. A veranda supported by columns and a trefoil in the main gable provided some detail for Webster's home. He sold it to Henry Van Hovenberg in 1891. Mr. and Mrs. Leonard Larson purchased the home in 1951." -"Eau Claire Landmarks: Designated Historic Properties in Eau Claire, Wisconsin", Eau Claire Landmarks Commission, P.O. Box 5148, 2016.
