Additional Information: | Map code is 0709-124-0909-6. The Tenney-Lapham Neighborhood: A Walking Tour: This house was"... built in 1916 as an investment property for Joseph H. Boyd, a prominent Madison banker and securities dealer. Often mistaken for a work of Frank Lloyd Wright, this compact stucco-clad, two-story house is actually the only identified product of the short-lived partnership of two young Madison architects - Robert A. Phillips (1890-1968) and Philip M. Homer (1893-ca.1980), whose firm, Phillips & homer, was in existence from 1915-1917." |
