Law Park
James R. Law (1885-1952) was the founder of Law, Law, and Potter, an architectural firm that designed many buildings and homes in Madison. Law was appointed mayor in 1932 and was re-elected for 5 terms. In 1943 he resigned to become chairman of the State Highway Commission. The Monona Lake frontage was named to honor his plan to establish a new shoreline 200 feet out from the original shore. The area was later filled and developed into parkland by the city.
Marker is on John Nolen Drive 0.2 miles east of Broom Street, on the right when traveling east.
