1890 House Museum, Châteauesque mansion museum in Cortland, United States.
The 1890 House Museum features three floors of Victorian architecture with ornate stonework, mosaic stained glass windows, and original period furnishings.
Chester Wickwire commissioned architect Samuel B. Reed to design this residence in 1890, modeling it after a mansion built for circus manager James Bailey.
The museum displays showcase the social hierarchy between the Wickwire family members and their servants, representing different aspects of 19th-century American society.
Visitors can explore the museum through guided tours from Thursday to Saturday between 11 AM and 4 PM, and on Sundays from noon to 4 PM.
Margaret Stack, an Irish immigrant who worked as a servant from 1904 to 1911, left detailed accounts of domestic life in the mansion.
