Description: The Curtis-Kittleson House (1901) at 1102 Spaight Street in Madison, Wisconsin, was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1980. William D. Curtis commissioned the architectural firm of J. O. Gordon and F. W. Paunack to design this imposing brick house in the Queen Anne style. Hallmarks of the style include the complex shape, wide veranda, and corner tower, highlighted by eclectic and finely crafted details. Curtis was the manager of the local horse collar pad factory founded by his father, Dexter Curtis. He also served one term as mayor of Madison (1904-1906). I. M. Kittleson, who served as mayor from 1920 to 1925, bought the house in 1949.
