Built in 1897 and renovated circa 1936, this Queen Anne-style house at 134 West Gorham Street in Madison, Wisconsin, was constructed for Charles C. Van Veltzer and his wife, Kitty Van Veltzer. The house features a hipped roof with multiple gables, wooden clapboard cladding with wooden shingle cladding on the gable ends, a two-story bay window on the front facade with windows on the second floor chamfered corners flanked by engaged columns, a Palladian attic window on the front gable, an octagonal corner tower with a hipped roof and windows flanked by engaged columns, two picture windows on the first floor of the front facade, a front porch with a front gabled roof and clustered columns atop paneled bases, a front door flanked by sidelights, two-story bay windows on the side facades, an added shed dormer on the roof, and a rusticated stone base.

The house is a contributing structure in the Mansion Hill Historic District, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1997.
