Additional Information: | "Sitting among the concentration of twentieth century construction in this part of the district, the Sloan-Ogilvie house is an Italianate design from the nineteenth century. The square form of the main block is probably one of the most common details of the style, as is the low-pitched hipped roof and the tall, narrow windows decorated with sandstone lintels. David R. Jones, Madison's most prolific architect of the 1870s, designed this house. Susan and Robert Ogilvie owned this house until 1907. Robert Ogilvie owned a dry goods store. The house changed hands numerous times until 1925, when it became the Sigma Kappa sorority house. Sigma Kappa occupied it until the 1950s."
