Description: The Old Executive Mansion (1955=56) at 130 E. Gilman Street in Madison, Wisconsin, was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1973. Constructed of locally quarried sandstone and designed in the Italianate style, this house was originally built for Julius T. White, secretary of the Wisconsin Insurance Company. Governor Jeremiah Rush acquired the house in 1868 and sold it to the state of Wisconsin two years later. It was the executive mansion for seventeen Wisconsin governors between 1885 and 1950. The porch was redone in neo-Classical style by Gordon Paunack in the 1890s.
