Mattermore - Malaney House
1875
This vernacular house is significant as a surviving example from Madison's earliest residential era and as an increasingly rare, intact, gable-front type house with wood clapboard siding. The elements which define this folk form are evident on the house: A simple facade with a gabled roof facing the street. Locally popular between 1840 and 1925, vernacular houses were constructed by carpenters, often following pattern books which were fashionable during the nineteenth century. This house has remained in use as a single-family home since its construction in 1875.
