Description
"Built in 1835, this Federal-style brick double building (119-121) is the only one of its kind in Ithaca. Its stepped gables are similar to those at 130 East Court and 307 North Tioga streets. The three-bay facades and flat wall plane are typically Federal, and the over-door transom and handsome cornices are Greek Revival. The over-door transoms and paneling in the door recesses, built in the Italianate style, are later additions. For several years, William Henry Miller maintained an office in the projecting second-story bay."
