Timothy Brown House
1863-1865
This Italianate brick house was constructed for Timothy Brown of New York State, a real estate speculator, founder of the First National Bank, and an official of the Madison Gas Light and Coke Company. Brown was induced to come to Madison in 1855 by fellow banker and former resident of New York State, Napoleon Bonaparte Van Slyke. Brown lived in the house until his death in 1879.
