Built in 1863 and renovated in 1892, this Italianate-style house located at 116 East Gorham Street in Madison, Wisconsin, was constructed for Elizabeth and Timothy Brown (see the Property Record online). It was renovated circa 1936 and converted into an apartment building, which it remains today.

The house is clad in cream brick with a front and side gable roof, extruded corner pilasters and corbeling, dentils and paired brackets at the eaves, a star-shaped attic window surrounded by stone trim, decorative stone window headers, two-over-two double-hung windows, a front door with an arched transom, vestibule, and decorative trim header, a two-story bay window on the side ell, a front porch with fluted ionic columns and pilasters, sandstone piers, low railings, and modern metal railings, and a simple carriage house to the side.

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