Summary

Description
English: The Simeon Mills House (1863) known as "Elmside" at 2709 Sommers Avenue in Madison, Wisconsin, was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1987. This elegant Italian villa style house was constructed of native sandstone on the 191-acre country estate of Simeon and Maria Mills. An early pioneer from Ohio, Mills erected Madison's first store and was a banker, real estate developer, and respected civic leader. As a founder of Madison's first insurance company, the first newspaper, and two major railroads, he was instrumental in the growth and prosperity of Madison. He also helped establish the University of Wisconsin.
