David R. Jones, Architect
— 1876 —
Designed by David R. Jones[,] one of Madison's early prominent architects, the Smith and Lamb Block is an example of the Gothic Revival style and the only known commercial building of that style in the city. Executed in red and cream brick and sandstone creating a polychromatic effect, it rests on a cut stone foundation and is ornamented with ogee arches over the doors and windows. Jones' influence on the character of Madison lies in both the buildings he designed and the future generation of architects he trained, including Edward Starck, O.J. Williams and F.W.
