Description: The Jackman Building (1913-14) at 111 S. Hamilton Street in Madison, Wisconsin, is an unusual example of early 20th-century commercial architecture because it is preserved virtually intact both inside and out. Designed by the local architectural firm Claude and Starck, it was built for the law firm of Richmond, Jackman, and Swanson. Their successors occupied the second and most of the third floors until 1976. In style, the building is a simplified version of Classical Revival. Classical elements include the decorative cornice and stonework around the main entrance. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.
