Additional Information: | Locally designated landmark. POLYGONAL TURRET W/PAVILION ROOF ON CNR. BRICKWORK AROUND CORNICE. Contractor was L.B. Gilbert. L.O. Sveum installed the original cement sidewalk around the building. August 2013: new signage above first story. August 2019: Appearance unchanged. "Distinguished by its engaging oriel tower, the Hausmann Block was built in 1903 by Madison contractor L. B. Gilbert and operated as a saloon by Madison brewer Carl Hausmann. This building is a fine example of a Queen Anne style applied to a commercial building. Covered with decorative pressed metal, the tower is supported by brackets and rises into a conical roof and finial ball. Garlands, dentils, raised panels, and engaged pilasters further embellish the tower."
