The barn is located in E. Bristol. Like the texture of the decaying barn and snow tracks in front. Wanted to do a little perspective correction but the barn cleaner head was already at the edge. Sodium lighting at far left did cause a slight flare.

Built in 1955-1957, this Modern International Style seven-story building was designed by Holabird, Root and Burgee and Law, Law, Porter and Nystrom to serve both as Madison City Hall and the Dane County Courthouse. The building was later expanded with a rooftop addition on the rear wing, though offices of both the City of Madison and Dane County have moved to the newer Madison Municipal Building and Dane County Courthouse located on adjacent blocks to the north and south of the building. The building is clad in limestone with ribbon windows interrupted at regular gridded intervals by columns clad in limestone, a low-slope roof enclosed by a parapet, dark polished stone cladding on the one-story front wing along Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard, which features limestone cladding at the edges of the roof, a second story projected bay that cantilevers over the front entrance and is clad in limestone with vertical baffles between narrow and tall windows, aluminum entrance doors with large transoms and sidelights, aluminum modernist lettering mounted on the facade, and an original three-story rear wing clad in limestone panels with gridded fenestration and a setback third floor, with the addition being differentiated from the original building through its use of larger concrete panel cladding and smaller windows on the upper floors. The building continues to house some functions and offices of the City of Madison and Dane County government, and is an excellent example of a modernist city-county building, complimenting its older neighbors in scale and materiality.

#63/122. Magnificent
In the late 1800's, many of Chicago's wealthy families built magnificent summer homes along the shore of Geneva Lake in southern Wisconsin. Stone Manor, built by Otto Young is the largest estate ever built on the lake. Otto started his American business life selling costume jewelry from a pushcart on the sidewalks of New York City. After the Chicago Fire of 1871, Mr. Young moved to Chicago and began investing heavily in real estate in the burned out city. Though many thought that Chicago would never rebuild after the devastation of the fire, Otto saw the opportunity and he stockpiled an enormous fortune.
There are seven levels in this historic estate. Complete with 2 sub-basements, 4 main levels, and a sprawling roof terrace. A 250-foot wide veranda completes this architectural wonder that stretches an amazing 174 feet along the lakeshore. The exterior walls feature Bedford limestone, the interior walls are covered in Tennessee marble and hand laid parquet tile floors complete this majestic masterpiece. When completed in 1901, all of the doorknobs, plumbing and electrical fixtures on the main level were 14kt gold plated, with matching solid sterling silver on the 2nd floor. Ceilings in the mansion are hand-carved out of mortar and lavishly decorated by European artists with breath-taking oil paintings.

Built in phases between 1911 and 1959, this Prairie and Organic Modern-style house and office were designed by Frank Lloyd Wright to serve as his family residence and studio, with two fires leading to substantial reconstruction of the house in 1914 and 1925. The house, which is named “Taliesin”, Welsh for “Shining Brow” or “Radiant Brow”, referring to the hill upon which it is situated, is a long and rambling structure with multiple sections built at different times, with the building serving as a living laboratory for Wright’s organic design philosophy, as well as growing with Wright’s family, wealth, and business. The house sits on a hill surrounded by fields, but is notably located below the top of the hill, which Wright saw as being such a significant feature of the landscape that it should remain untouched by the house’s presence. The house’s westernmost wings served as the home of livestock and farm equipment, as well as a garage, later becoming housing for the Taliesin Fellowship, where aspiring architects apprenticed with Frank Lloyd Wright. The central wing served as the Frank Lloyd Wright studio, where Wright and his apprentices and employees worked on projects for clients, as well as where Wright often met with clients. The eastern wing served as the Wright family’s residence, and was rebuilt twice, in 1914 and 1925, after being destroyed by fire, and is overall the newest section of the complex, though some portions of the west and central wings were added after the main phase of construction of the residence was complete.
The house is clad in stucco with a wooden shingle hipped and gabled roof, with stone cladding at the base and on piers that often flank window openings, large casement windows, clerestory windows, outdoor terraces and balconies, stone chimneys, and glass french doors, all of which connect the interior of the building to the surrounding landscape. The interior of the buildings feature vaulted ceilings in common areas, stone floors, stone and plaster walls, decorative woodwork, custom-built furniture, and multiple decorative objects collected by Wright during his life. The exterior of the house has a few areas distinctive from the rest of the structure, with a cantilevered balcony extending off the east facade drawing the eye towards the surrounding landscape from the living room of the residence, next to a large set of glass doors that enclose the living room and adjacent bedroom from a shallower cantilevered terrace, while to the west of the residence, and south of the central wing, is a landscaped garden, which rests just below the crest of the hill.
The building was the full-time home of Wright from 1911 until 1937, when Wright began to spend his winters at Taliesin West in Phoenix, Arizona, due to the effects of the Wisconsin winters on his health. For the rest of Wright’s life, the house was the summer home of Wright and the Taliesin Fellowship, and following his death, the house was deeded to the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation, which operated and maintained the house as a museum and the home of multiple programs until 1990. Since 1990, the house has been under the stewardship of the nonprofit Taliesin Preservation Inc., which operates the house in conjunction with the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation. The building is a contributing structure in the Taliesin Historic District, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973, and designated a National Historic Landmark in 1976. Taliesin was one of eight Frank Lloyd Wright buildings listed as The 20th-Century Architecture of Frank Lloyd Wright World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 2019. Today, Taliesin is utilized as a museum, offering tours and interpretation of Frank Lloyd Wright’s life and work.
