Fay House, Federal style mansion in Cambridge, Massachusetts, United States.
The three-story building with white exterior walls features symmetrical windows, classic columns, and architectural elements from the early 19th century Federal period.
The mansion, constructed in 1807 by Nathaniel Ireland, became the first property owned by Radcliffe College after changing multiple owners through the century.
The building houses administrative offices for the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study, supporting research and intellectual exchange at Harvard University.
The structure underwent renovations in 2013 to update facilities while maintaining its architectural integrity and improving accessibility for staff and visitors.
The building received modifications in 1890 when its mansard roof was removed to add a third story specifically designed to accommodate the college library.
