Petterson House Carvings
Wooden carvings of two faces (of a total of four) on the front of the L.W. Petterson house at 101 North Prospect Avenue which represent the "four ages of man". These two carvings represent adulthood and old age. The English Tudor-style home was built in 1925 by James Law, an architect and later Madison mayor. The carvings are traditional in the Tudor style of architecture. |
