Significance: The Foster Building was erected ca. 1860-70 and has the best cast-iron facade of Madison's late nineteenth-century commercial architecture. Most of the city's five-block commercial row development is finished with sheet-metal and cast-iron facades. This structure, however, stands out as the most ornate and finest in design.
