Description: The Judson C. Cutter House (1882-83) at 1030 Jenifer Street in Madison, Wisconsin, was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1978. Cutter, an entrepreneur, commissioned the construction of this house as an investment property, and he leased it to various tenants until 1890. The house has a decorative surface treatment in a late Victorian period style sometimes called Stick-Eastlake which seems to show the structure of the house and belies the mass of the building. (Charles Locke Eastlake was a British architect and furniture designer who popularized the "Modern Gothic" style.) Much of the original surface and trim is preserved, including siding panels in a variety of patterns. The steeply pitched gables have elaborate braces and barge-boards, and some windows are capped with shed-type window hoods. Madison architect Lew Porter expanded the building and in 1904 added the matching garage (visible on the left) for an electric car; it may well be the only extant electric car garage in Madison.
