Description
"Number 307 is a Federal residence in brick with stone trim. It was built in the 1810s for Peleg Cheesebrough, one of Ithaca's first tailors. It has the same stepped gables as 130 East Court Street and the three-bay façade with side entrance as the Beebe-Halsey and Court Street houses. The house was once owned by Ezra Cornell's brother and sister-in-law, Elijah and Betsy Ann Cornell. In the 1920s it was an Ithaca College sorority house. More recent alterations include the installation of a large picture window in the front."

In 1930, this building housed an Ithaca Conservatory Sorority (see record of 1930 resident, Mary E Jarvis).
