It is composed of three sections: foundry, office, and storage (figure 3). The foundry was erected in four phases (figure 4). The original part of the foundry (south) dates to 1918.1 In 1929, the original part was expanded to the west to accommodate new furnaces.2 In 1936, a one-story, brick-veneered addition was attached to the north of the original foundry (photo 1, right). The two-story, triangular addition is of brick and was constructed in 1938 (photo 1, far right, and photo 2, left).3 The 1936 and 1938 additions overlook Waubesa Street. The office is a small, one-story section east of the foundry, facing Waubesa Street, and veneered with lannon stone in random ashlar (photo 1); it dates to 1941,4 and replaced the original front façade. The concrete block storage section wraps around the south and west sides of the foundry (photos 3 and 4). Part of the storage section may date to ca. 1942, but was altered

  • The Origins of Some Madison, Wisconsin, Street Names
    THE ORIGINS OF SOME MADISON, WISCONSIN, STREET NAMES BURR ANGLE, DOLORES KESTER, AND ANN WAIDELICH COPYRIGHT © BURR ANGLE 2010 Burr Angle, Dolores Kester, and Ann Waidelich Copyright © Burr Angle 2010 “Many facts, minute in themselves, are in this view very important. The details, which is the appropriate province of the local historian to spread before the public are not so much history itself, as materials for history, leaving to the general historian, who has before him all these details, to exhibit the connection of the several parts, and their dependence one upon another.” Daniel S. Durrie A History of Madison, 1874 Burr Angle, Dolores Kester, and Ann Waidelich Copyright © Burr Angle 2010 Contents This document contains information on the origins of street names in several areas of Madison, Wisconsin. Part I is a short history of the Northside of Madison from the 1840s to the present as revealed by street naming practices. Part II presents more information about Northside street names. Part III explains how the Army changed the designations of streets at Truax Field from letters and numbers to “avenues of honor.” Part IV is a sidebar with sketches of several carpenters, contractors, and developers who helped build the Northside from the 1920s through the 1970s. Part V discusses and lists the names of Eastside streets between the Yahara River and Starkweather Creek. Part VI uses the same format as Part V to discuss the names of Westside streets from Wingra Park to Nakoma. Part VII is devoted to Westside areas north of the Beltline to about 1970. Part VIII returns to the Eastside with facts about streets from Starkweather Creek and Monona Drive to Interstate 90.
