MADISON, Wis. (May 25, 2007) – Architects know style when they see it. And visitors to the American Institute of Architects’ Wisconsin branch office on Hamilton Street in Madison will see plenty of it between the building and its garden area.
County Materials, a longstanding associate member of AIA Wisconsin, donated 2,000 clay pavers to the Joseph J. Stoner House, which is home to the branch office of AIA Wisconsin and the Wisconsin Architects Foundation. The pavers comprise pathways connecting the historic house with outdoor garden areas.
The two-story Italianate structure was built in 1855 from indigenous sandstone. It was listed as a Madison landmark in 1973 and was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1980. Madison Newspapers Inc. donated the house to the WAF in 1983. While the house fell into disrepair prior to this, one condition of the gift was for the WAF to move the house 100 feet and perform a historically sensitive reconstruction of it, which was finished in 1984.
County Materials operates 30 locations serving the Midwest. The family-owned, American company is an industry leader in the manufacture and distribution of concrete block, brick, stone, ready-mix, hollowcore, pipe, pavers, retaining walls and Aggregate Finish products for residential, commercial and municipal construction and landscaping.
