"It is fitting that some of the finest designs of Madison born Frank M. Riley (1875-1949), should be locate in this area since his father, Edward Riley, developed the Oakland Heights Addition. Like most architects who specialized in period revival styles, Riley moved fluently between them. Nowhere in Madison can this be better seen than in the outstanding group of four homes he designed in three different styles at the intersections of Lincoln and Adams Streets. The earliest of these is located at 1102 Lincoln Street and was designed in the Colonial Revival style for John Conklin and his wife Margaret in 1923. In 1926 Riley designed a second home for the Conklins in the French Provincial style at 1101 Lincoln Street. In the same year Riley designed the outstanding Georgian Revival style house illustrated above for Emmanuel and Elva Simon. Simon was a partner in Simon Bros., wholesale grocers in Madison. Riley designed an equally fine Georgian Revival house for Simon's brother, Jerry Simon, and his wife, Frances, a block away at 1016 Lincoln Street in 1922. Other Riley designs in the area include the Rayne house, 1108 Grant Street, and later houses at 1427 Vilas Avenue and 1533 Jefferson Street." The Greenbush-Vilas Neighborhood: A Walking Tour.
