Built in 1894, this Queen Anne and Shingle-style house at 407 Wisconsin Avenue in Madison, Wisconsin, was built for John and Mary Berryman (see the Property Record online).

The house is clad in wooden clapboard and shingles, and features a complex hipped and side gable roof with bracketed eaves, a corner octagonal tower that terminates at the main hipped roofline, a chamfered corner on the opposite end of the front facade, a hipped roof dormer with a balcony clad in in shingles with side walls that feature curved ends, one-over-one windows, first floor picture windows with transoms, a wrap-around front porch with clustered small Tuscan columns atop clapboard-clad bases with paneled railings, a front door that is tucked around the side of the house on the porch, and a rusticated stone base.

The house is a contributing structure in the Mansion Hill Historic District, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1997.
