Summary[edit]

Description Built in 1858 and renovated in 1871 and 1901, the latter renovation by Gordon and Paunack, this Italianate and Romanesque Revival-style building was originally built for George Fess as the Fess Hotel, which was one of the earliest hotels in Madison, serving a working class clientele. The building is clad in buff brick and divided into five bays by pilasters, a stone base, windows with arched transoms and decorative stone headers, a decorative cast iron balcony at the three central bays of the second floor, brick corbeling above and below the second floor windows, recessed brick panels below the first floor windows, a recessed entrance in the middle of the facade with a double wooden door, a bracketed cornice with decorative panels, and a bonnet roof covered in red terra cotta tile, obscuring the building’s low-slope roof to the rear. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978, and presently houses the Great Dane Brew Pub, which extends into the adjacent Fess Hotel Annex building and the Alexander Findlay Building.
