Stock Pavilion

The Stock Pavilion is an exhibit hall built in 1908 at the University of Wisconsin–Madison, with its exterior styled like a medieval housebarn.

In 1908 Warren Powers Laird and Paul Philippe Cret produced a design for the pavilion and general contractor T.C.

[3] The design was in a Tudor Revival style, suggesting a medieval housebarn with its rather steep gables and half-timbering in the upper facade.

The first story is clad in red brick, with concrete trim around the openings formed to resemble tabbed stonework.

As such, it was used for numerous events not involving cattle, including football games, boy scout jamborees, UW commencements; concerts by Paderewski, Sergei Rachmaninoff, and the London Symphony Orchestra; and speeches by Theodore Roosevelt, William Howard Taft, Harry S. Truman,[4] and civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr.[5] The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985 and on the State Register of Historic Places in 1989 - significant for its intact, stylish architecture.
