Harold C. Bradley House, also known as Mrs. Josephine Crane Bradley Residence, is a Prairie School home designed by Louis H. Sullivan[3] and George Grant Elmslie, located in Madison, Wisconsin.
Sullivan's role in the design of the Bradley House is often overstated. Designed very late in his career, "both of the late residences (Babson and Bradley) were designed by Elmslie with only occasional suggestions from Sullivan."[4] This can be seen in the heavy Prairie School emphasis in the design, influenced by the residential designs of Frank Lloyd Wright and other Chicago area architects of the period. In addition, there are contracts of record with the local firm Claude and Starck.
The Harold C. Bradley House was entered in the National Register of Historic Places in 1973 and declared a National Historic Landmark in 1976.[2][4] It is currently occupied and maintained by the Sigma Phi Society, University of Wisconsin chapter. The blueprints of the Bradley House are held by the Illinois History and Lincoln Collections at the University of Illinois Library at Urbana-Champaign.
The house is located within the University Heights Historic District.[5]
