The Gilman Street Rag

The Gilman Street Rag is a classic 1885 Queen Anne Victorian home on Mansion Hill in downtown Madison, Wisconsin. Furnished with antiques, the house also boasts unusual art and book collections. Each guest room has an ample writing and reading table, books, a full closet, a 51-channel TV and air conditioning for hot summer nights. In addition to the 2nd floor guest rooms (see below) we recently made available a third floor luxury apartment with kitchen, whirlpool tub and outside deck overlooking the Capitol for extended-stay guests. (see below)

Breakfast is served in the sunny solarium kitchen overlooking the back garden. Pets and children are welcomed. We have a friendly dog and cat, also very friendly.

Just across the street from the Gilman Street Rag (named for the Steinway piano in front window.the home.s first residents in the late 19th century were musicians at the Univ. of Wisconsin) is Lake Mendota, with the University campus a five block walk along the shore. Walk five blocks the other way and you find the Wisconsin State Capitol on the square with a mix of shops, restaurants, coffee shops and the new Frank Lloyd Wright convention center overlooking Lake Monona.
