History[]
The house was built for Judge Arthur B. Braley and his wife, Philinda. Their close friend Ella Wheeler Wilcox was a frequent visitor. Wilcox wrote the opening line of her most enduring poem "Solitude", 'Laugh, and the world laughs with you; Weep, and you weep alone.', at the house. Judge Braley reportedly told her that if she finished the poem at the same high standard, it would be a 'literary gem.' The house was designated a landmark by the Madison Landmarks Commission in 1976.[2]
