303-307 N Aurora Street

Ithaca, NY 14850

A rare opportunity to own a piece of Ithaca history! Designed in 1880 by William Henry Miller, Ithaca's most celebrated architect, for local grocer Calvin Stowell, this red brick Queen Anne Mansion at the corner of Aurora and Buffalo has had only four owners in 146 years. Its defining features include a corner tower with iron weathervane, half-timbered gables, stained glass and original chestnut woodwork. The adjacent 1892 carriage house is also Miller's work and offers a variety of options for future use. Converted in 1998 with new plumbing, electrical and a sprinkler system, the property has operated since 1999 as the William Henry Miller Inn. There are ten guest suites, each with a private, recently remodeled bath. Seven occupy the second and third floors of the main house, among them the turret room and a library with built-in shelves, a gas fireplace, and custom details that would be impossible to recreate today. The carriage house holds the remaining three: a king suite with a two-person jetted tub, a wheelchair-accessible room with a roll-in shower, and a second-floor apartment with its own kitchen, living room, and bedroom. On-site parking. Suited to continued operation as an inn or to a return to the private residence it was for its first 118 years. Just minutes from the Ithaca Commons, Cascadilla Gorge, shopping, dining, and Cornell University. Opportunities like this are hard to come by - reach out for more information today!
