Introduction
These buildings featured architecture inspired by many different styles and were built by outstanding architects of the time. These buildings still stand today, and they represent style, and power of the once prosperous city.

The Mabel Tainter
The Mabel Tainter was built in 1889 and stands today as one of the most persevered buildings in the upper midwest that was built by Harvey Ellis.

The Louis Smith Tainter House
Given as a wedding gift to his son Louis, Captain Andrew Tainter and his wife built a three-story mansion. Costing around 75,000 dollars this building was designed by Harvey Ellis. It features the Richardsonian Romanesque style he favored when building.

The Wilson Place
Possibly the most architecturally outstanding building in Menomonie is Wilson Place. It has been completely redesigned two times after it was built. Originally built by Captain William Wilson in 1859, the house was a large colonial style and had a pillared porch.
