Summary

Description Built in 1921, this Tudor Revival-style building was designed by Kronenberg Ferdinand, and saw a major addition in 1950 and another in 1964 under the direction of Law, Law, Potter and Nystrom. The school was once adjacent to Madison Central High School, located to the rear of the building, with the school becoming known as the Madison Area Technical College in 1967, and opened a new campus in a more suburban location in 1987, which eventually led to the closure of their original downtown campus. The building is clad in red brick with a limestone base and window trim, large window openings, a limestone surround with doric columns, an architrave with triglyphs, a cornice with dentils, and an arch at the front entrance, niches on either side of the entrance, and an iron railing above the entrance, a six-story addition to the southeast of the original structure, which features a boxy massing and simpler detailing, an entrance porch on the northwest facade with arched openings, brick pillars, a stone relief, and iron railings, a low-slope roof enclosed by a parapet, a curtain wall on the rear of the building with a greenhouse-like entrance, a rear parking garage, and an entrance for the original Central High School that once stood to the rear of the building standing alone at the far end of the parking garage, which matches the front entrance on the old vocational school. The building was listed on the Wisconsin State Register of Historic Places in 2018 and on the National Register of Historic Places in 2019. As of 2023, it is undergoing renovations to be adaptively reused as a hotel.
