Unseen Ithaca 2 Fountain Place Tour & Reception

Join Historic Ithaca for a lecture, tour, and wine-and-cheese reception of a unique historic property near the Cascadilla Gorge in the East Hill Historic District. Noted Ithaca architect William H. Miller designed this grand Romanesque Revival residence for the Williams family, Ithaca business owner and Cornell Trustee George R. Williams (1843-1907) and Ellen Douglass Boardman Williams (1847-1944). Completed in 1893, the house later served as the home for Ithaca College presidents for many decades. Proceeds benefit Historic Ithaca’s preservation advocacy and education programs and job-training program at Significant Elements.
