Summary

Description
English: Machinery Row (1898-1914) in Madison, Wisconsin. This block-long group of brick buildings was originally known as the Brown Brothers' Business Block. It earned the nickname "Machinery Row" when several agricultural implement branch houses located here, part of the lively railroad shipping business that flourished in Madison in the early 1900s. This substantial Romanesque revival building was built gradually, in sections, replacing older wooden structures and an ice house. It combines utilitarian-industrial design with Richardsonian Romanesque motifs, including turrets. It was designed by the prominent local architectural firm Conover and Porter, which also designed the University of Wisconsin Armory and Gymnasium (the "Red Gym"). It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.
