Governor Washburn purchased the home from Samuel and Emma Marshall on September 17, 1873 for $15,000, when he was finishing his one term as governor of Wisconsin. Samuel Marshall, co-founder with Charles Ilsley of the State Bank of Madison, had purchased the partially-built house from John W. Ashmead. Governor Washburn gave the property to the Dominican Sisters, who established an academy, the basis of Edgewood College. |
