Description: The Adolph H. Kayser House (1902) at 802 E. Gorham Street in Madison, Wisconsin, was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1980. The Kayser House was designed by Claude and Starck, a local architectural firm that would later become the foremost practitioner of the Prairie School style in Madison. The design of the Kayser House is a distinctive blend of classical details, then very popular, and the broad horizontal lines and simple massing of the Prairie School, which was just coming into vogue. Kayser was a prominent Madison lumber dealer who also served as mayor of Madison from 1914 to 1916.
