Bashford House
1856-7
This house is an example of the towered Italian Villa style executed in sandstone. Its square, hipped roof, three story tower, or campanile, is unique among old Madison residences. The house was first occupied by H. K. Lawrence, banker and secretary of the Madison and Watertown Railroad. Robert M. Bashford, elected Mayor of Madison in 1890, moved into the house in that year.
Marker is at the intersection of North Pinckney Street and East Gilman Street, on the right when traveling north on North Pinckney Street.
