Built in 1855 in the Italianate style, this house located at 104 East Gilman Street in Madison, Wisconsin, was designed by August Kutzbock for John E. Kendall, and was later renovated circa 1873 in the Second Empire style, adding the mansard roof and extending the rear service ell. The house features sandstone block exterior walls, two-over-two double-hung windows and one-over-one windows, a concrete front terrace with brick piers and iron railings, decorative window headers and sills, a semi-circular balcony above the front door with an iron railing, a one-story bay window on the side facade with engaged fluted columns, panels, brackets and dentils, and a low-pitch hipped roof, a mansard roof with a cornice featuring brackets and dentils, gabled dormers with decorative pilasters, keystones, and brackets framing the windows, a lower rear ell with a mansard roof, a taller section of the roof above the front door, and an oxeye window on the side of the rear ell.

The house, now utilized as an apartment building, is a contributing structure in the Mansion Hill Historic District, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1997.
