Irving Langmuir House
Irving Langmuir House, National Historic Landmark residence in Schenectady, New York
The Irving Langmuir House features terra cotta tiles on its hipped roof and contains two symmetrical dormer windows above a Palladian-style entrance.
Built in 1900, this Colonial Revival residence became home to physicist-chemist Irving Langmuir in 1919, who lived there until his death in 1957.
The house stands within the General Electric Realty Plot, a neighborhood established for executives working at the nearby General Electric Research Laboratory.
Located at 1176 Stratford Road, the two-and-a-half-story structure maintains its original central-hall floor plan and columned front porch entrance.
The residence belonged to the first industrial scientist to receive a Nobel Prize in Chemistry, awarded to Langmuir in 1932 for surface chemistry research.
