National Register of Historic Places Registration Form for Ithaca Downtown Historic District, December 18, 2004

“This 1901 Colonial Revival building was designed by Clinton Vivian shortly after he ended his partnership with Arthur Gibb. Of interest are the projecting arches on the third story, arched windows on the fourth story, surface enrichment of the keystones, and classical moldings below the cornice.”
