Wisconsin Ave.
  • Wisconsin Avenue once ran on both sides of the square.
  • Doty made it double the width of the other streets because he understood the power of the view from the Capitol to the lakes.
  • The southern half was renamed Monona Avenue in 1877, then to Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd. in the 1990s.
  • Originally spelled Wiskonsin on Doty's first plat.
