After roughly two years of inaction, construction is back up and running at the former Mount Washington Sanatorium (1930 Cleveland Ave., Eau Claire). According to local construction company Royal Construction, the project has essentially picked up where it left off in the fall of 2024.
The site is of particular community interest due to its storied history. The four-story building, located in the Shawtown neighborhood, was originally opened in 1937 to house polio and tuberculosis patients. It last served as a nursing home before shuttering in 2017.
