Dunroven House

The Dunroven House is a historic house at 7801 Dunroven Road northeast of the village of Dane, Wisconsin. The house was built in 1870 by Abram Asa Boyce, a farmer and politician who served in the Wisconsin State Legislature and chaired the Dane County Board of Supervisors. Boyce's original house, which he named Walnut Hill, was a two-story sandstone building. E. W. de Bower purchased the house in 1909 and expanded it into a Colonial Revival home that was much larger than others in the area. The house's design features a full portico on the front facade supported by four two-story Corinthian columns and hipped dormers projecting from the roof. de Bower, who lived in Chicago and hired locals to raise cattle on the property, named the new house Mont-Joy in honor of his wife.

The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places on November 28, 1980.
