Ager's study
Ager house ca. 1903, with the Agers' eldest son, Eyvind, sitting on the porch. The house had been built in the late 19th century by noted carpenter Brady Anderson. Note the extra trim on the peak of the roof. Originally, the house stood at the corners of Chestnut and Whipple streets in Eau Claire, on the shores of the oxbow Half Moon Lake, and across the street from Luther Hospital, which would be completed in 1907. Ager was instrumental in getting the hospital built.
