Christian Dick Block
The Christian Dick Block is a historic commercial building located at 106 East Doty Street in Madison, Wisconsin. The building was constructed in 1889 for liquor wholesaler Christian Dick. The prominent Madison architectural firm of Conover & Porter designed the Richardsonian Romanesque style building; it is one of the city's earliest extant examples of both the firm's work and the style. The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2002.
==History==
Born in Cologne, Germany in 1845, Christian Dick immigrated to Madison in 1878 and established a wholesale liquor business. Dick purchased the triangular lot at the corner of King and East Doty Streets in March 1889 to be the new site of his business. He hired the architectural firm of Conover & Porter to plan the three-story building; while Dick had originally intended to build a two-story building, dance teacher F. W. Kehl convinced him to build the third floor and subsequently rented it as a studio. The building was finished later in the year; at the time, Madison's newspapers regarded it as a significant contribution to the city's commercial architecture. Dick ran his liquor business from the building's basement and leased the corner storefront to the Schlitz Brewery, which opened a saloon in the space; the second floor was used as a hotel until the 1920s.〔 (Accompanied by photos ).〕
The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places on December 19, 2002.〔 Shortly before its nomination to the Register, the building was extensively restored; in the restoration process, it was connected to the neighboring E. W. Eddy Block.〔
