Category:John E. Kendall Residence

Built in 1855 as the residence of John E. Kendall, this house located at 104 East Gilman Street in Madison, Wisconsin, was designed by August Kutzbock in the Italianate style. It was renovated in 1873 in the Second Empire style, adding the mansard roof and extending the rear service ell (see the Property Record online).

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.

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