Additional Information: | EXCELLENT EXAMPLE OF TUDOR REVIVAL DESIGN BY GROVER LIPPERT OF MADISON. "The two-story-tall ell-plan Harley A. Smith house was designed by prominent Madison, Wisconsin architect Grover H. Lippert, and while it was not a particularly large house it is an excellent, beautifully detailed example of the Tudor Revival style. The house has a poured concrete foundation, its exterior walls are clad in brick that is laid with so-called "weeping" mortar, and these walls are sheltered by the house's steeply pitched multi-gable roof, which is clad in asphalt shingles. Typical Tudor Revival style details include a massive chimney stack whose upper portion has battered sides, and grouped wood sash casement windows, but a close examination of the house will also reveal numerous small details that are excellent examples of the mason's craft, such as the house's brick window surrounds."
