It later served as the Quayle Sanatorium.","why_significant":"The nomination points to the house's notable architecture, especially the Palladian doorway and the scrolled pediment over a second-floor window. It combines Italianate and Neo-Classical Revival features. It is also tied to the Childs family of builders and to its later use as a sanatorium.","narrative":"This two-story wood-frame house at 319 West Main Street in Madison dates to about 1870 and was substantially remodeled around 1900. The west wing was built with two stories, while the east wing began as one story and was raised to two in the later work. That remodeling added a projecting bay with an overhanging gable, large windows with Palladian detailing, a front porch with Tuscan columns, and an entrance with a fanlight. Stained glass appears in several windows, and the interior has oak and cherry woodwork and paneling. Alpha Childs, the original owner, was a son of the builder Robertus Childs. The house was later used as a sanatorium by Dr. Quayle and was also owned by Mr. Benjamin, a builder and lumber merchant. Its architecture is the main reason for its recognition, especially the Palladian doorway and the scrolled pediment above a second-floor window. A two-story carriage house remains on the lot, and the building is still a residence.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Italianate; Neo-Classic Revival","criteria":[],"status_note":"Listed in good condition inside and out, and still used as a residence.
