| The oddly-shaped shingle covering in the upper story was a sign of emerging "shingle" style pioneering in 1880 by architect William Ralph Emerson, a cousin of American essayist Ralph Walso Emerson. the shingle covering was an effort to accent the interior space of the building rather than the frame as the then-predominant form sought to do. Originally published in a Wisconsin State Journal column entitled "Have You Seen This Madison?". The column ran from 1969 to 1977. |
