Description: Fess Hotel (1858, 1901) at 123 E. Doty Street in Madison, Wisconsin, is a reminder of the commercial character of the King Street and Doty Street area. George Fess, the original proprietor, catered to travelers on the nearby railroad lines and to weekly boarders, and the hotel was patronized by the common man throughout its history. After a remodeling in 1901 by architects J. O. Gordon and F. W. Paunack, the lodging was known for a decade as the Central Hotel though it remained in the Fess family until recently. It is now occupied by the Great Dane Brew Pub. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.
