Category:Francis and Adolph Marschall House

Built in 1912, this Prairie School-style house at 515 N. Pinckney Street in Madison, Wisconsin, was designed by Claude and Starck for Francis Marschall and her husband, Adolph Marschall, and is now used as an apartment building. The house features a red brick base, a porch with red brick side walls with large openings and a shed roof, casement and double-hung windows, a side oriel window, stucco cladding at the oriel windows, dormers, and second story above the window sill line, horizontal trim that intersects the window bays, with the lower trim piece running as a nearly continuous datum line around the house, forming the base of smaller windows and transoms, while the thicker, upper band bends and runs over the top of the bays, a complex gabled roof with eaves featuring simple trim that accentuates the house’s geometry, double gable side dormers, a first floor front bay window, an iron fire escape from the attic window to the top of the porch roof below, a balcony above the front door with a staircase to the balcony from the access door, and a partially enclosed two-story rear porch with brick columns.

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