The Madison Park neighborhood of Seattle lies on the western shores of Lake Washington. Judge John J. McGilvra, "the father of the Seattle bar," first developed the area at the end of Madison Street in the 1860s and donated land for use as a public park. The Madison Street Cable Railway, the steepest cable car line in the city, brought visitors to Madison Park from downtown Seattle and ferries connected the neighborhood to Leschi Park, as well as several locations in and around Kirkland. This made Madison Park a popular summer destination, which it remains to this day. Madison Park's Pioneer Hall is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
