Description and history
The two-story Italianate villa, built of locally quarried sandstone, was originally built for Seth and Harriet Van Bergen. In 1859, future Madison Mayor James Barton Bowen purchased the house. After his death in 1881, his daughter and her husband owned the house. In 1972, it was designated a landmark by the Madison Landmarks Commission.[2]
