2024 Garver Feed Mill · 3241 Garver Green, Madison WI 53704
Bringing Industry to Madison
The Garver Feed Mill has been a Madison icon since its earliest days. Built in 1906, the Mill was originally constructed as a sugar beet processing facility by the United States Sugar Company . As the largest factory in the state of Wisconsin, the facility played an essential role in Madison’s economic development and emergence as a major industrial center. Designed by the prominent Madison firm of Law, Law and Potter, the building became known throughout the city as the “Sugar Castle” due to its gothic arched windows and Richardsonian turret, which gave the building a palatial appearance. The sugar plant remained in operation until it closed its doors in 1924.
PROFESSIONAL PHOTOGRAPHY POLICY
Thank you for your inquiry. We appreciate your interest in using the Garver building as a photography backdrop for professional business photos, however, we currently do not permit professional posed photography at Garver unless you are part of a privately booked function through Garever Events, LLC. Posed photography would include wedding, family, engagement, prom, maternity, graduation, senior photos or the like.
As you may know, one of our current tenants at Garver is Twig & Olive Photography. In fairness to our tenant, we cannot allow other professional photographers to utilize the Garver space and have the same benefits as our rent paying tenants. We appreciate your cooperation in this regard.
We encourage guests and visitors to take casual photographs of their visit for their own personal use. However, if you are coming to the Garver for the purpose of taking professional posed photos, please be advised that this is not permitted. Thank you again for your interest.
