History

This shotgun home was built in circa 1875, and is located in the west end of Madison that was incorporated as a village in 1888 before being annexed into the city of Madison in 1895. The shotgun style gets its name because the original design was typically a long, narrow, single-story house with rooms that lined up in a straight row from front to back without hallways, allowing for a direct path from the front to the back door. 

At the time this home was built, the village consisted of dirt streets and was the home to Madison’s foundry workers and those who made their living in the shipyards. It was occupied by members of the Siegel family from 1894 – 1967, and the current owner, Mike Armstrong, purchased the home in 2013. 

The root cellar under the porch  was used to make home brew and wine, a hobby that wasn’t looked too kindly on.
