| Additional Information: | "In 1893, attorney Frank Hall and his wife Mary built a good-sized Queen Anne style house on a strip of land they had just purchased that extended from Gorham Street north to the Lake Mendota shore. The Halls subsequently developed much of this land in 1900 with George Bird and Lucius Fay as the Prospect Place subdivision. Then, in 1909, the Halls moved their house across the street to its present lakeside location at 842 Prospect Place and in 1911 they began the development of the small group of four fine bungalows on Russell Walk. The designer of these buildings was an employee and distant relative of the Halls named Cora Tuttle (1864-1948), the only woman known to have designed buildings in Madison before WWI. Tuttle was not a professional designer. Her output was small and consisted almost entirely of bungalow style houses. These houses are of very high quality, however, the best-known examples being a group of five exceptional Bungalow and Craftsman style houses she designed in Wingra Park on Madison's west side. Tuttle's four Russell Walk bungalows were built by Charlie Way, a respected local carpenter and woodworker. Their somewhat more conventional design derives in part from the constraints imposed by the speculative nature of this development. Even so, each house possesses the same honest approach to materials and design that characterizes Tuttle's finest work." Old Market Place Neighborhood walking tour guide.
