Charles L. Shrewsbury House, House museum in Madison, United States.
The Greek Revival residence features a symmetrical three-bay facade with brick pilasters, stone capitals, and floor-to-ceiling windows reaching thirteen feet tall.
Francis Costigan designed this mansion in 1848 for Charles Shrewsbury, a salt-barge riverboat agent, flour manufacturer, and future mayor of Madison.
The twelve-room interior displays period furnishings that demonstrate the living standards of prominent 19th-century American merchants and community leaders.
The house opens for guided tours at 1:30 PM on Mondays, Tuesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays through October 25, 2024.
A free-standing fifty-three step spiral staircase, made of pine with cherry railings, rises through the center while supporting its own weight.
