Belmont Hotel (Madison, Wisconsin)
The Belmont Hotel is a twelve-story residential hi-rise built as a hotel on the capitol square in Madison, Wisconsin in 1924. At that time it was the tallest building near the capitol and concern that it blocked the view prompted height-limit restrictions that are still in place. In 1990 the building was placed on the National Register of Historic Places. History Madison's first hotel was the ''American House'', built in 1838 on the capitol square where the American Exchange Bank now stands. Over the years other hotels sprang up around town: downtown hotels for legislators and salesmen, resort hotels on the lakeshores, and railroad hotels near the depots. The early 1900s saw growth of state government, the UW, industry, conventions, and auto tourism. All of these drove a need for more lodging space, and a brief boom in hotel construction. The Belmont was one result, along with the Hotel Loraine and an expansion of the Park Hotel. With . After growing up on his father's farm west ...

One Hundred Wisconsin Avenue
1 (one, unit, unity) is a number representing a single or the only entity. 1 is also a numerical digit and represents a single unit of counting or measurement. For example, a line segment of ''unit length'' is a line segment of length 1. In conventions of sign where zero is considered neither positive nor negative, 1 is the first and smallest positive integer. It is also sometimes considered the first of the infinite sequence of natural numbers, followed by 2, although by other definitions 1 is the second natural number, following 0. The fundamental mathematical property of 1 is to be a multiplicative identity, meaning that any number multiplied by 1 equals the same number. Most if not all properties of 1 can be deduced from this. In advanced mathematics, a multiplicative identity is often denoted 1, even if it is not a number. 1 is by convention not considered a prime number; this was not universally accepted until the mid-20th century. Additionally, 1 ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
