- Find the page name for the page this tour is placed within.
- In the file manager, right-click on the folder you need to rename and select rename.
- Rename the folder with the page name for this page (e.g., chaunceys-place).
Ten bedrooms and five baths, this big-and-boxy Queen Anne began life in the late 1890s (or the very early 1900s) as a two-family side-by-side duplex. In the early mid-century it was purchased by Ithaca Conservatory of Music (the original Ithaca College, in the Boardman House off Dewitt Park) to use as a women’s dormitory. Over the following decades, the house has been reinvented numerous times, once serving as a home for unwed mothers, and as various flavors of boarding house, on a scale from bed-and-breakfast to flophouse. When we purchased it in early 2021, it had fallen on hard times, housing 12 people with one working shower among them, no dining room and barely a kitchen, and a spectacularly leaky asbestos roof and balconies.
The woodwork and oak floors are original, and we uncovered the original pillars between the kitchen and dining room. The house is full of copper sprinkler pipes installed early in the boarding-house days, now accompanied by 1940s light fixtures that we installed throughout to go along with that old-time boarding-house vibe. The common areas are full of quirky art.
All of our houses are theoretically pet-friendly, but due to tenants’ allergies, the current housemates at Cascadilla Corner prefer a “no-pet,” dander-free house, so if you’re allergic to small-and-furries, this is your place. Non-smoking inside and out (including all balconies and porches).
This house also received an award of merit for historic preservation.
