Description: The George A. and Caroline Lougee House (1907, Claude & Starck) at 620 S. Ingersoll Street in Madison, Wisconsin, was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1978. A significant example of the Prairie School style of architecture, this dwelling features an overhanging slate roof, belt-courses, horizontal massing, and a large terrace. It bears similarities to Frank Lloyd Wright's Harley Bradley House of 1900 in Kankakee, Illinois. Louis W. Claude worked for Louis H. Sullivan, with Frank Lloyd Wright and George Grant Elmslie, and remained lifelong friends with them. George A. Lougee was a distinguished hotel proprietor, operating both the Park Hotel and the University Club in Madison as well as the Palmer House in Chicago.
