Built in 1888, this Romanesque Revival-style building was designed by Henry C. Koch and Allan Conover to house the science department of the University of Wisconsin. The building is clad in red brick with a hipped roof, a tower with gables, arched bays, decorative patterned brickwork, and a rough-hewn stone base. The building is a contributing structure in the Bascom Hill Historic District, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974, and was listed individually on the National Register of Historic Places and designated a National Historic Landmark in 1993.
This was captured on the farm that my mother had grown up on. When I took her back to visit her brother last year she wanted to revisit where she grew up & we ended up stopping at the house & the current owners were thrilled to talk with my mom. It was a thrill for her also, not really sure with her getting up in age if will make it back to the area.

Saturday was the day before yet another round of arctic air hit Wisconsin, so I decided to enjoy the sunshine's warmth and wander around Sheboygan's South Pier.
Wisconsin is a land of gently rolling hills, with no mountains most of the year. By mid-February the snow piles near parking lots take on mountainous proportions and temporarily change our topography.
This snow pile is at the edge of a public parking lot that is located next to our apartment complex. On the other side of the "mountain ridge" is our van and apartment , both obscured by the snow.
While it may be a fun campsite, every time I walk by this tipi I think how incongruous it is in this location. Tipis were found on the Great Plains, not the Wisconsin woodlands. :-) At least the white canvas blends in with the snow.
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.

Second try. This is the blending of two different exposures (13 sec and 3.2 sec), mainly to keep the Capital Dome from saturating. Also cloned out a radio tower and its bright red lights. Very good night - almost no turbulance! Taken at the Olin Park boat ramp.
Built in 1930, this Art Deco-style skyscraper was designed by Eschweiler and Eschweiler for the Milwaukee Gas Light Company, later known as the Wisconsin Gas Company. The building stands 20 stories and 250 feet (76 meters) tall, and is clad in red brick with replacement windows, a marble base, stone trim with geometric motifs, a massing that tapers with setbacks towards the roofline, decorative grilles and metal spandrels at the base, decorative wall sconces, fluted pilasters, and a lantern atop the pinnacle of the tower. The building today houses various commercial office tenants.
