Mansion Hill Historic District, Historic district north of Capitol Square in Madison, United States.

The residential area features 161 buildings, including ornate Victorian mansions, spanning 49 acres near Lake Mendota and downtown Madison.

Following concerns about demolitions in the 1950s and 1970s, residents successfully petitioned the Madison Common Council to establish the city's first historic district in 1976.

The district contains numerous architectural styles, with Italianate and Queen Anne designs representing half of the standing structures from the 19th century.

Current regulations require property owners to maintain historical authenticity while allowing access to tax credits for rehabilitation projects within the district.

The Gates of Heaven Synagogue, designed by August Kutzbock in 1863, displays early German Renaissance Revival elements within the district.
