Executive Residence
| This Italianate sandstone house was built in 1856 by Julius T. White at 130 East Gilman Street. The house was later owned by J.G. Thorp, whose daughter married Ole Bull, the famous Norwegian violinist. The state of Wisconsin acquired the house in 1885 as a home for its governors. The University of Wisconsin purchased the property in 1950 for about $60,000 and it became known as the Knapp House (after Kemper K. Knapp). It is currently used as the residence for the Marie Christine Kohler fellows. It was declared a Historic Landmark in 1972. |
