Description: The former Belmont Hotel at 101 E. Mifflin Street at the intersection of Pinckney Street on the Capitol Square in Madison, Wisconsin, was constructed in 1924 in a Neo-Classical Beaux Arts style. An 11-story building virtually adjacent to the State Capitol, its erection prompted legislation to limit building heights in Madison, Wisconsin, in order to protect views of the Capitol. Built to accommodate business travelers, the building was purchased by the YWCA in 1968. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.
