Madison's Landmarks Commission considered both a landmark nomination and a demolition application for the Wonder Bar at a meeting Monday. The panel determined that lore surrounding the bar, pictured here in 2021 a year after its closure in 2020, was not sufficient for granting landmark protections to the erstwhile roadhouse.
Madison’s Landmarks Commission on Monday recommended against landmark status for the Wonder Bar but determined that the building does have historic value, meaning a developer’s proposal to demolish the building will now require additional review.
The Wonder Bar, left, and Coliseum Bar closed for good soon after the start of the COVID-19 pandemic and have both been vacant for about five years. Neighbors fought to save the Wonder Bar, a 1930s roadhouse known for its gangster ties, from a proposal by another developer to demolish it in 2021.
