Built in 1900 and expanded in 1908, this Beaux Arts-style flatiron building was designed by Gordon and Paunack to house the Commercial National Bank, and is known as the Wisconsin Building. The building is flatiron-shaped with a curved corner, and features stone cladding on the first floor at the corner and along the State Street facade, with stone cladding featuring fluted doric engaged columns on the first floor, large storefront windows and entrances, a prominent corner entrance with a decorative metal grille above, a cornice at the top of the first floor stone cladding with the words “Commercial Bank” and “Bank” emblazoned on the architrave. Above the first floor and along Carroll Street, the building is clad in red brick with one-over-one windows and decorative brick trim and stone lintels, with curved tripartite windows on the curved corner separated by fluted pilasters, a metal fire escape mounted on the Carroll Street facade, an entrance on Carroll Street surrounded by stone trim with the words “Office Entrance” engraved into the header, and a cornice with dentils at the top of the fourth floor, at the base of the parapet that encloses the building’s low-slope roof. The building is a contributing structure in the State Street Historic District, listed on the Wisconsin State Register of Historic Places.
Founded in 1848, the University of Wisconsin, today known as the University of Wisconsin at Madison, was created to serve the newly established state of Wisconsin. The university was initially clustered on the hill around today’s Bascom Mall, but began to spread out from this original center around the turn of the 20th Century, expanding into a larger institution, reflecting the growth and development of the state. The university was expanded into a university system with multiple campuses across the state in the mid-20th Century, and today, is the flagship institution of the University of Wisconsin system, with a student body of approximately 50,000, and a staff of approximately 25,000, and anchors the west side of the city of Madison.
