La Follette House on West Wilson
This house was the Madison home of Robert M. La Follette, Sr., and Belle Case La Follette from the time of their marriage until they moved to the Governor's Mansion on Gilman Street in 1901. It is photographed here from across the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul tracks, looking toward the back and side of the house. The house actually fronted on Wilson Street and the La Follettes' property extended back to Lake Monona. After the La Follettes moved, the property was subdivided into several small lots and the address of the original house, which is a Madison historic landmark, is now 314 S. Broom Street. La Follette's sister Josephine and her husband Judge Robert Siebecker lived in the house next door. |
