A proposal to give landmark status to the former Rennebohm’s drugstore at University and Randall avenues came in for tough sledding before the Madison Landmarks Commission.
The building at 1353 University Ave., built in 1925, is one of several in a run-down former commercial strip that would be demolished to make way for the first phase of the University of Wisconsin-Madison’s Institute for Discovery. Construction is tentatively scheduled to begin later this year.
