The Robert M. Lamp House, completed in 1903 in Madison, Wisconsin, stands two blocks northeast of the State Capitol as Frank Lloyd Wright's oldest residence in the city. Built of brick, the house was designed for Robert M. Lamp, a realtor, insurance agent, and Madison City Treasurer who was Wright's lifelong friend. Its architectural style represents a transitional phase between the Chicago School and Prairie School movements, marking an important moment in Wright's evolving approach to residential design. Recognized for its historical significance, the house has been designated a Madison Landmark and listed on both the Wisconsin State Register of Historic Places and the National Register of Historic Places, where it was added in 1978.
