Historic house at UW-Madison set for big renewal

Called the Agriculture Dean’s Residence but also the Fred House, the Lake Dormer House, Building No. 0072 and “the house formerly known as 10 Babcock Drive,” the 120-year-old Queen Anne at 620 Babcock Drive has Gothic details and no known ghosts. UW-Madison’s College of Agriculture and Life Sciences (CALS) is seeking to raise $2 million for interior renovations to turn its 10,000 square feet into a center for agriculture-related student organizations.
