Carriage house is a contributing resource in the district. 1991- More complex version of American Foursquare than others in the neighborhood. fluted Doric columns, Palladian dormer, two-story bay on each side. Intact carriage house. House is a simplified version of the more elaborate house the Noels built a block away at 2010 Adams St. "A more complex version of the American Foursquare house type is this excellent and highly original house built for Phillip and Louise Noel in 1907. Here the fluted Doric columns and the Palladian style dormers reflect the influence of the Georgian Revival. The two-story bays on the side of the house create a larger and more complex building than is usually associated with Foursquare houses. This house is also notable for its intact carriage house. The Noels lived here for just two years before selling to assistant state superintendent of public instruction and future state budget director James B. Borden (1869-1939) and his wife Mary. This house is actually a simplified version of the more elaborate Georgian Revival house the Noels built in 1905 one block away at the 2010 Adams Street. Noel listed himself as a "miner" in the city directory at the time and this outstanding house may have been built with the profits from that career. Two years later the Noels sold 2010 Adams Street to well-known Madison photographer Fred Curtiss and his wife Kate. Still later, the house was owned for many years by the family of Col. Joseph Jackson (1879-1969), the long-time head of the Madison and Wisconsin Foundation and a prominent civic benefactor and friend of the UW Arboretum."
