This authentic vintage color snapshot photograph captures an elevated, high-angle rooftop view overlooking downtown Madison, Wisconsin, looking out toward the expansive waters of Lake Mendota.
The composition prominently features the historic brick structure of the New Belmont Hotel (located on Capitol Square at Pinckney and Mifflin Streets). In the midground background, a classic neon rooftop billboard for Milwaukee's famous Blatz Beer is visible amongst the lush canopy of mature trees lining the Isthmus. The foreground showcases detailed architectural elements of neighboring rooftops, including classical stone balustrades, skylights, and green copper-clad mansard roof trim.
The back of the photograph features a clean, white surface with a faint, repeating "KODAK PAPER" watermark characteristic of the 1970s era. This photograph offers an exceptional piece of urban landscape history for collectors of Midwestern travel memorabilia, Wisconsin brewing history ephemera, or regional Madison architectural archives.
