Built in 1890, this Queen Anne-style house at 20 East Gorham Street in Madison, Wisconsin, was constructed for Sarah Jonas and her husband, Frank Jonas, and was later renovated and expanded circa 1943 when it was converted into an apartment building. The house features a painted brick exterior, hipped roof, front gable clad in scalloped wood shingles with decorative gable and bargeboard trim, a tripartite attic window, a two-story bay window on the front facade, stone lintels and sills, one-over-one double-hung windows, a front door with decorative glass sidelights and a decorative glass transom, brackets at the base of the front gable, a rusticated stone base, front porch with a front gable roof with wooden shingle cladding and simple railings and columns, an arched window on the second floor over the front door, and two-story bay windows on the side facades.

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