(1837-1863)

The Madison Hotel was built and owned by Col. Augustus A. Bird, one of the builders of the first Capitol in Madison. From this hotel, he waged a successful fight to keep Madison the Capital City.

Many of Madison's most prominent visitors, including Gov. Dodge, stayed here. One of the first sermons heard by Madisonians was delivered in the hotel bar, November, 1837. In June of 1838, the first territorial Supreme Court held in Madison was organized in this hotel.

The Madison Hotel was destroyed by fire March 17, 1863.
