Property Features
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.
