Madison Trust for Historic Preservation Award 2011

A unique challenge was to blend the addition into the home’s prominent symmetry without overwhelming the home

The Prof. Edward E. and Gladys Milligan House designed by William V. Kaeser built in 1942 in the “Wrightian” style. The challenge was to blend the addition into the home’s prominent symmetry without overwhelming the home. From the street side the addition looks as if it was originally designed to form the back wall of the original carport. From the rear, the exposed concrete foundation blocks, the window proportions and the prominent eaves echo the original design. The interior of the addition functions as a den/guest room/family room. A 3/4 bathroom was also included. Preservation included extensive structural repair.
