Thanks. Your writing has potential. I'd call it "upgradeable material." ;) snowshoe@oliveman.com BTW, here's the splendid 150-year-old house I lived in during college. The nearby houses were added decades after it was built... Van Slyke House 510 N. Carroll Street 1856-1858 August Kutzbock, architect Originally built for Samuel Fox, a successful hardware merchant, the house was soon sold to Napoleon Bonaparte Van Slyke and his second wife Annie. One of the most important players in the development of Madison, Van Slyke came to Madison from New York state in 1853 and helped form the first abstract and title company and one of the first banks. He was also one of the first regents of the UW, serving for over 30 years, and was quartermaster for Camp Randall during the Civil War. He lived in this house for forty-nine years. The house is a refined and skillfully detailed example of the Italianate style that can compete in excellence, if not necessarily size, with the best Italianate style houses in the country. The stonework is also rare and beautiful. It is done in a form of stone laying known as "block and stack" in which large blocks are alternated with smaller stones and then the whole wall is covered in raised mortar joints to highlight the variation in stone sizes. This is a Germanic technique that may be unique in the United States to the Dane County-Sauk County area. Designated (Historic Landmark) January 31, 1972 surroundedbyreality.com
