The Red Brick Mansion
Welcome to the Historic Red Brick Mansion.
Become a part of Ithaca’s history when you live in this building that has been officially designated as an Ithaca Landmark. This Italianate Mansion dating from the 1890s retains much of its original charm and character, including high ceilings, oak floors and trim, and carved fireplace mantels. The house is now configured into five unique apartments, and a large parking lot that fits 38 vehicles. Assigned Parking available for an extra fee. All apartments are fully furnished.
This fabulous Collegetown location is perfect for Graduate Students- still close to Cornell, yet just outside the main commercial blocks, adding desirable privacy and quietness to an otherwise crowded neighborhood.
