| Additional Comments |
"Madison's best known Prairie School architects, Claude and Starck, designed this tan brick house for Engineering Dean John B. Johnson and his wife, Pheobe. Dean Johnson died in the same year this house was built, but Pheobe Johnson lived here until 1916. This design was an important transitional work for Claude and Starck. It has a Queen Anne form with classical details, but there is a strong horizontality to the design which suggests the influence of the Prairie style. The modernistic porch posts are decorated with Sullivanesque terra cotta panels. The porch design and abstracted Palladian type dormer are similar to details used by Chicago's progressive Prairie style architect, George W. Maher."
