History
editThe house was built in 1871 by Charles Titus. After channelling the Six Mile Creek, Titus became a real estate developer for the now buildable land located immediately south of Downtown Ithaca. Titus soon sold the house to his in-laws, Joseph and Louisa Sprague.[1][2]
Description
editThe house is located at 412 South Albany Street in the Henry St. John Historic District, not far from Downtown Ithaca.
The building, occupying a corner lot, features a Second Empire style, which was popular in the United States when the house was built. With two main levels and a Mansard roof, the building has a complex floor plan. An ornate corner turret, adorned with a wrought iron crest, distinguishes the facades facing south and east.[1]
