Roberson Mansion

Roberson Mansion is a three-story residence built in Italian Renaissance style in Binghamton, New York. The house contains 26 rooms across its floors, many featuring fireplaces and detailed woodwork including an ornate grand staircase.

The mansion was commissioned in the early 1900s by a lumber company president and his wife for their family. Its completion marked the end of a period of large private building projects in the city.

The house shows how wealthy families lived in the city, with rooms designed for different purposes and social situations. Walking through reveals the contrast between the family's private spaces and the separate areas where household staff worked.

The house can be visited when open as a museum, and parking is available near the building. Allow enough time to explore the rooms at a comfortable pace without rushing through.

Inside the house is an original metal elevator that still works, which was highly unusual for a residential building at that time. A separate living wing for household staff was equally rare for a private home of that era.
