City leaders shoot down proposal to preserve view from historic building Close Close
Last night, the Madison Common Council shot down a proposal to preserve a unique lake view for an early Frank Lloyd Wright building.
It’s Wright’s earliest surviving work in Madison. Built more than a century ago for his childhood friend Robert Lamp, the house provided expansive views of the downtown area, and of Lakes Mendota and Monona.
The house now sits secluded from street view, behind houses and apartment buildings and bounded by North Webster, East Mifflin and North Butler Streets.
The Lamp House is currently an apartment building, surrounded by new developments and sightlines to Lake Monona and the Capitol have been cut off. Only Lake Mendota is partially visible from the third floor of the house.

The Dane County Sheriffâs Office Marine and Trail Enforcement reminds citizens of flotation requirements for vehicles such as all-terrain vehicles (ATVâs) and snowmobiles.
Dane County Sheriff s Public Information Officer Elise Schaffer said effective June 2020, flotation inspections and certificates are no longer required to operate a vehicle on the icebound waters of Dane County lakes after Dane County Ordinance 71.11 was amended and no longer requires them.
The following requirements remain in place:
⢠Vehicle operators must still maintain flotation devices on vehicles less than 850 lbs. on icebound waters of Lakes Mendota, Monona, and Wingra. Flotation devices are also required on vehicles between 750 and 850 lbs. operating on any other icebound lake waters.
