It?s hard to fathom how the garage of a national landmark mansion that?s considered a masterpiece designed by ?the father of modern architecture? could be lost for almost a century. But that?s what happened to the carriage house that once belonged to the 1909 Bradley House in the University Heights neighborhood on Madison?s Near West Side. Bradley House, designed by Louis Sullivan, the mentor of Frank Lloyd Wright, is one of the few residences designed by Sullivan still standing. Recently, Sue Thering, an assistant professor of landscape architecture at UW-Madison who has lived there for a decade, was nominated for a Madison Trust for Historic Preservation award.
