Description: The Robert M. Bashford House (1856-57) at 423 N. Pinckney Street in Madison, Wisconsin, was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1973. Designed by August Kutzbock, this house is an example of the towered Italian villa style, executed in sandstone. Its square, hipped roof and three-story tower or campanile make it unique among old Madison residences. The house was first occupied by H. K. Lawrence, banker and secretary of the Madison and Watertown Railroad. Robert M. Bashford, elected mayor of Madison in 1890, moved into the house in that year.
