==History==
Built in 1886, the house was admitted to the National Register of Historic Places listings in Dane County, Wisconsin on June 17, 1982.〔"Wisconsin Register of Historic Places" June 17, 1982, "(Source 1 )", February 11, 2010〕 The residence was built in the French Second Empire architectural style by the local prominent architect Captain John Nader, who also designed Holy Redeemer Catholic Church (1869), St. Patrick's Catholic Church (1888-89), the Suhr Bank Building (1887), and the city's first sewer system.〔Sutton, John W. "City of Madison Landmarks Commission: Landmarks and Landmark Sites Nomination Form for the Suhr Building" December 3, 2004, "(Source 2 )", February 11, 2010〕 The house features a mansard roof, stone window trim and fancy woodwork on the bays.〔Cartwright, Carol Lohry. "The Langdon Street Historic District: A Walking Tour" Published by The City of Madison in 1986, "(Source 4 )" February 11, 2010〕 Additional construction occurred in 1902.〔"Wisconsin Register of Historic Places" June 17, 1982, "(Source 1 )", February 11, 2010〕
The house's first owner, John J. Suhr, was certainly an example of the American dream. He was born in Bremen, Germany, in 1836 and immigrated to Madison in 1857.〔Sutton, John W. "City of Madison Landmarks Commission: Landmarks and Landmark Sites Nomination Form for the Suhr Building" December 3, 2004, "(Source 2 )", February 11, 2010〕 He worked as a bookkeeper in the State Bank until 1871, when he founded the German Bank.〔Cartwright, Carol Lohry. "The Langdon Street Historic District: A Walking Tour" Published by The City of Madison in 1986, "(Source 4 )" February 11, 2010〕 He changed the name of the bank to the German-American Bank in 1885. This change represented the community bonds that were forming across nationalistic lines. Shortly thereafter, he had the honor of entertaining President Grover Cleveland.〔Sutton, John W. "City of Madison Landmarks Commission: Landmarks and Landmark Sites Nomination Form for the Suhr Building" December 3, 2004, "(Source 2 )", February 11, 2010〕 John J. Suhr died in 1901. His family owned and resided in the Suhr House for two generations until the death of John J. Suhr's son, John J. Suhr, Jr., in 1957.〔Cartwright, Carol Lohry. "The Langdon Street Historic District: A Walking Tour" Published by The City of Madison in 1986, "(Source 4 )" February 11, 2010〕
The house currently serves as student housing in what has become a boisterous off-campus neighborhood. The houses on Langdon Street have been converted from mostly single family homes to sorority and fraternity residences and student housing.〔Cartwright, Carol Lohry.
