Nathaniel Dean Farmhouse
1856
A simple, flat-roofed brick structure with wood cornice and dentilation, this early Blooming Grove farmhouse was built for Nathaniel Dean, Madison dry goods merchant and real estate speculator. Dean, who lived in the house in the 1860's and the early 1870's, originally came to Madison in 1842. An active businessman and churchman, he also served as a regent of the University of Wisconsin.
Marker is on Monona Drive 0.1 miles south of Dean Avenue, on the right when traveling north.
