History
The cottages were built after the Grand Army of the Republic decided to make homes where war veterans and their wives could live together, an unusual step for the time, now known as the Wisconsin Veterans Home. In 1929, the state took control of the site and has since continued to use it for veterans' housing.
The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985 and on the State Register of Historic Places in 1989.[2] The Commandant's Residence Home and the Veterans Home Chapel are located in the district.

gollark: I don't think so. But IIRC he said he *might* continue to, although we resolved that in the conference.
