The Firehouse

The Firehouse is your historic game-day bunker, sitting smack across from the Camp Randall Memorial Arch—yes, you’ll hear the cheers before leaving your couch. Originally a fire station from 1904 and reborn into six townhouse-style apartments in 1984, this place is dripping with character. Expect vaulted ceilings, open spiral staircases, and a loft-style third-floor bedroom that’s straight-up unique. Each fully furnished unit comes with 3 bedrooms, 1.5 baths, beds, dressers, desks, a couch — all set so you can focus on building your Madison squad, not filling it.

Utilities like water, sewer, and trash are already handled — keeping the essentials dialed-in — while you take care of gas, electric, and your own internet setup. No A/C here, so bring that fan for summer chill. Laundry is on-site with coin-op machines, and you’re right on a bus line for rolling through campus and beyond. Plus, you’ve got a Kwik Trip next door for midnight snack runs, and everything from Union South to the School of Engineering is within sight. Bottom line? The Firehouse is downtown Madison’s historic meets hype with zero energy wasted — just pure game-day grind zone perfection.
