There was a time when this spot along Mineral Point Road was home to a dairy barn, mlk house, silos, pig pen and corn cribs.
This was before the Kentucky Fried Chicken was built next door, or the arrival of PDQ convenience stores, one across the street, the other just to the west. Only now they are Kwik Trips.
Sunset Memory Gardens cemetery was established just up the road in 1957, West Towne Mall came along in 1970 and the now shuttered Shopko 11 years later. Over the past 40 years, the commercialization and development of former crop land and pasture on Madison’s Far West Side has only grown.

Somehow, amid the bastion of retail, restaurants, apartment buildings and traffic, the brick farmhouse has survived sans its outbuildings, cows and clotheslines used to dry freshly laundered overhauls and flannel shirts. And now the house, believed to be at least 130 years old and most recently used for a Uno Pizzeria & Grill, is being readied for its next role.
