This historic house at 252 W. William Street in Corning, NY is a beautiful example of design 28, as published in Barber’s 1892 pattern book entitled, “The Cottage Souvenir No. 2, Revised and Enlarged”. Miraculously, this home retains much of its original character, at least on the exterior. The interior could be a different story as this home currently serves as a rental unit, perhaps multiple rental units. Still, this home could be a wonderful restoration and preservation project, located in a nice residential neighborhood. If only I could find a billionaire who cared more about historic architecture, than say, littering space with useless automobiles. If only . . .
