Soglin House

505 Riverside Dr     Built 1928

Arson at the Mayors House – March 6, 1994 – Madison, WI
When this house was owned by Mayor Paul Soglin someone poured gas on the front and back steps. Empty gas containers and a burned out torch were found. The house never caught fire. The case remains unsolved.

Mayor Soglin; his wife, Sara; their three daughters; and his mother, Rose, were home at the time.

Soglin had just returned home from open heart surgery days earlier.
