The John R. Commons House (also commonly known as Hocheera) is a historic house located at 1645 Norman Way in Madison, Wisconsin. It is regarded as locally and nationally significant due to its association with university academic John R. Commons.
History
Designed by Cora Tuttle, the two-story Bungalow style house was built in 1913 for its original owner John R. Commons, a prominent member of the faculty at the University of Wisconsin–Madison, and his wife, Ella. They named the house "Hocheera", the Ho-Chunk word for 'welcome.' The wooden frame of the house is sheathed in stucco on the first floor and with wooden shingles on the second floor.
It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on March 14, 1985.
