Jones, and built for Philip Schoen's Capitol Bakery. During the 1880s, the city's longest lived German newspaper, the Staats-Zeitung, maintained its offices here. Jones designed over 61 buildings in Madison and vicinity between 1872 and 1885. Among the few remaining are Music Hall on Bascom Hill, the Gothic polychrome brick Smith and Lamb building, 105 W. Main (1876), and Washburn Observatory (1878) on Observatory Hill." |
