The Judge Arthur B. Braley House is located in Madison, Wisconsin, United States. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.
History
The house was built for Judge Arthur B. Braley and his wife, Philinda. Their close friend Ella Wheeler Wilcox was a frequent visitor. Wilcox wrote the opening line of her most enduring poem "Solitude", 'Laugh, and the world laughs with you; Weep, and you weep alone.', at the house. Judge Braley reportedly told her that if she finished the poem at the same high standard, it would be a 'literary gem.' The house was designated a landmark by the Madison Landmarks Commission in 1976.
