Description
The Martin Institute for Speech Correction, formerly at 311 N Tioga Street, housed boarding rooms and classrooms for a school of elocution, one of the Conservatory's first affiliates (1921-1936). The building was later a dormitory (1930-1953) for the College. It was demolished in 1976.

1921-“Announcement was made today that the Ithaca Conservatory of Music has purchased the residence of Sarah M. Gillette at 311 North Tioga street and will take possession September 1. The building will be used for the Martin Institute of Speech Correction, associated with the Conservatory of Music under direction of Dr. Frederick Martin of New York City. The lower floor is to be used for class rooms, while the upper floors will be utilized for dormitory purposes.” (Source: “Conservatory Buys Mrs. Gillette’s House on North Tioga Street,” Ithaca Journal-News, June 8, 1921, 3.)
