South School is a historic school building at 1009 Summit Avenue in Stoughton, Wisconsin. The school was built in 1900; it is one of five school buildings in Stoughton built between 1886 and 1916, a period of rapid growth for the city. Prominent Madison architect Allan D. Conover designed the school in the Queen Anne style. The school was designed to blend into its residential neighborhood, and its house-like shape and relatively plain exterior minimize its size. Stoughton used the building as an elementary school until 1983, though it was closed between 1943 and 1954 due to budget constraints. [2] The building has since been converted to apartments. [3]

The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places on September 12, 1985. [1]

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Lincoln School (Madison, Wisconsin)</span> United States historic place

Lincoln School is a historic school building at 728 E. Gorham Street in Madison, Wisconsin. The school was built in 1915 on the site of the Second Ward School, which had been in operation since 1866. Architects Claude and Starck, who designed several other Wisconsin schools along with libraries throughout the Midwest, designed the school in the Prairie School style. The school has a yellow brick exterior with terra cotta banding, multi-story brick pilasters topped with terra cotta capitals separating its windows, and a terra cotta tympanum atop both main entrances. The terra cotta moldings have the same designs as the Merchants National Bank in Winona, Minnesota; its architects, Purcell and Elmslie, were colleagues of Claude and Starck and likely gave them permission to copy the design. The school operated until 1963, when the Madison Art Center moved into the building; the Art Center left in 1980, and it was converted to apartments in 1985.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Madison Waterworks</span> United States historic place

Madison Waterworks, also known as Nichols Station, is a historic building on East Gorham Street between North Franklin and North Hancock in Madison, Wisconsin. The building was built in 1917 as part of an effort to overhaul Madison's municipal water system; in addition to its new pumping station, the city also began supplying its water system from Lake Mendota rather than artesian wells. To maintain the city's water supply during construction, the new pumping station was built around the original. Architects Balch & Lippert designed the building in a functional interpretation of the Prairie School style with mock turrets, a parapet along the roof, and several gables. The city reused elements of the design in many of the later buildings it built for the water system. The building originally included two Allis-Chalmers steam pumping engines, one of which still remained when the station was decommissioned in 1976; according to the Historic American Engineering Record, it is a rare surviving example of a large steam pumping engine.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">West School (Stoughton, Wisconsin)</span> United States historic place

West School is a historic school building at 404 Garfield Street in Stoughton, Wisconsin. The school was built in 1886; it was the first of several schools Stoughton built in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries to accommodate its rapidly growing population. The two-story brick building has an Italianate design with a segmental arched entrance and matching first-floor windows, semicircular arched windows on the second floor, brick belt courses, and a hipped roof with a wide dormer. As school overcrowding continued to be a problem even after the later construction of the East and South Schools, Stoughton elected to expand the West School in 1905; builder John Holmstad placed a matching addition on the building's west side that gave the school four new classrooms. Stoughton continued to use the school until 1982; it has since been converted to apartments.
