Description: Lincoln School (1915) in Madison, Wisconsin, is a fine example of the Prarie School of architecture, as manifested in the bands of terracotta and stone that emphasize the horizontal lines of the design, detailed terracotta ornament on capitals and over the door, and the modern expression devoid of historical motifs. Lincoln School is the finest remaining of several similar school buildings in Wisconsin designed by the local architectural firm of Louis W. Claude and Edward F. Starck. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.
