Saturday’s ‘Alternate Parade of Homes’ features campus buildings

This year instead of houses, the buildings featured in the group’s annual tour are landmarks of the UW-Madison campus. Part of the reason is to throw a spotlight on a campus threatened with budget cuts, said Historic Madison board member and program chairman Barbara Essock. Saturday’s self-guided tour: University Club, Wisconsin Historical Society, Music Hall, Bascom Hall, Carillon Tower, Washburn Observatory, Science Hall, Memorial Union and the Armory and Gymnasium, more commonly known as the Red Gym.
