| Additional Information: | Map code is 0709-242-0414-5. The First Settlement Neighborhood: A Walking Tour: "Originally a red brick structure, the building first housed G. C. Albee's harness, saddle and trunk store. An important early tenant was the Wisconsin Patriot, a Democratic newspaper which had the largest circulation in Madison. Because it was a pro-slavery, the paper faced hard times during the Civil War and folded. The building was remodeled ca. 1920 with a neo-classical facade." |
