Description: The Collins House (ca. 1912) at 704 E. Gorham Street in Madison, Wisconsin, was designed by architects Louis Claude and Edward Starck for the lumber executive William Collins and his wife Dora. Characterized by a gable roof, wide eaves, leaded glass windows, and horizontal and vertical banding that lends an effect of half-timbering, the design of this building has many affinities with the Prairie School. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1974.
