. The law restricts buildings to be no taller than the base of the pillars surrounding the dome (about 187 feet). The history of skyscrapers in Madison begins with the Churchill Building, completed in 1915. The current State Capitol was completed in 1917, and was the third built in Madison, replacing the previous one which was destroyed in a fire on February 27, 1904. Because of Madison's height restriction, buildings rarely exceed over 160 feet in height. The tallest building ever proposed was the Archipelago Village Tower, a 27-story, office and condominium tower, however it is unlikely to ever be constructed because of the city's height restriction. This list includes certain well-known high-rise buildings (over 35 meters). Many buildings in that height range are omitted.
