About the Venue

We are thrilled to be holding this event at The Madison Club, a Madison Landmark (#116, designated in 1994). The Madison Club (1916-1918) was designed in the Georgian Revival style by prominent Madison architect Frank Riley. The building is considered among Riley's finest non-residential designs. Teddy Roosevelt even stayed at the Madison Club on May 28, 1918.

Excerpt from nomination form: “The Madison Club was formed in 1909 by a group of prominent business and professional med, led by F.W. Montgomery, president of the Madison Street Railroad (street car) Company. The men wanted a place where they could meet for lunch and discuss topics of mutual interest, especially municipal issues, conduct business informally and socialize.”

The original portion of the building was erected between 1916 and 1918 at a cost of $102,000.

Frank Riley (1875-1949) began his career in Madison in 1915. He is best known for his Georgian and Colonial Revival residential designs, but was also skilled in Tudor Revival style (Maple Bluff, University Heights, Shorewood Hills, the Highlands and Nakoma). Riley’s non-residential designs included East High School, Lakewood School and the First Church of Christ, Scientist.

*We can't get away from all the fees, but with this move away from Eventbrite, they will be much lower. You will notice that the booking fee (ticketing site fee) and transaction fee (credit card fee) are included in the ticket price. As a small nonprofit, events such as this are a fundraiser and incorporating in their fees helps us continue these informative and enjoyable presentations.
