Bill and Bobbi Rushing, c. 1875, 912 Dixie Avenue
The house was originally built during the 1870’s. The interior of the house features tall ceilings, pale colors, and is furnished in both contemporary and antiques furniture. Bobbie Rushing, owner and an interior designer, has woven her love of Ireland into almost every room.
Fitzpatrick-Becker House, c. 1850, 507 S. Main Street
A stunning example of classic Greek Revival architecture, this house was built in the 1850s and is one of Madison’s most treasured landmarks.
Trulock Lane Farm, c. 1997, 1040 East Avenue
Built in 1995 and 1996, this house of Federal style architecture sits on 13 acres and features a recently planted orchard, backyard pool, and a playhouse. The floors are all of antique heart pines, and the front doors and all knobs are also antique.
Willow Oak Farm, 3351 Bethany Road
The original farmhouse was once the overseer’s home for a 15,000 acre cotton plantation. The farm is a registered shooting preserve and is used primarily for family recreation, hunting and fishing and wildlife management and recruitment.
Mad House, 358 Johnson Street
This home was built in the Folk Victorian style, a popular style from 1870 - 1910. The current owners have remodeled it extensively, strictly following the architectural code for the Madison historic district.
Bookhaven, 606 N. Main Street
Built in 1909, this home is aptly named primarily because it houses over 6000 books, including 350 illustrated editions of Charles Dickens’ Christmas Carol. There is a Sherlock Holmes room and an Abraham Lincoln room. The Lincoln room is appropriate since 2009 is the 200th anniversary of his birth.
