Built over a century ago, the Doty School condo building is one of the most unique and historic of the numerous condo options in downtown Madison. Its gorgeous location along Lake Monona and beautiful setting make it stand out among the many newer high-rises.

A Showpiece of Madison Architectural History

Doty School shares the name with Madison’s founder James Duane Doty and is the vision of local architects Claude and Starck, who were well know designers of school houses around the state. The one-time school was converted into condominiums in 1983 and remains one of the most sought after places to live thanks to the historic charm of the building.

An Urban Oasis with Over a Century of Charm

Maintaining the quality and charm of the historic framework — including rare direct lake views — the school was lovingly renovated and converted into condos with unique spaces, balconies with stunning views, exposed brick, and lofted ceilings. It’s located just blocks from the Capitol Square, a dog park, the Lake Monona bike path, a grocery, and State Street. Now in present day, the Doty School is a charming oasis in the middle of the action of downtown Madison.
