Built in 1893, this Queen Anne and Shingle-style house at 137 East Gorham Street in Madison, Wisconsin, was built as a rental property for Frank G. Brown, and later was owned by the Walker family (see the Property Record online).

The house features a rusticated stone base with round front tower clad in rusticated stone with a conical roof, fifteen-over-one, eight-over-one, six-over-one, and replacement one-over-one double-hung windows, a chamfered corner next to the tower, a side gable roof with wooden shingle cladding, Palladian attic windows on the side gables, a front porch with a low-slope roof, stone columns, stone railings with iron inserts, and concrete front steps, and an arched window at the staircase on the side facade.

The house is a contributing structure in the Mansion Hill Historic District, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1997.
