366 West Onondaga Street
1892
This large, imposing shingle-style residence was built circa
1892 for George Whedon (1832–1912). Although the architect is unknown,
the plan and many details closely resemble those of the brick residence at
572 West Onondaga Street, also built for Whedon, that was designed by
Archimedes Russell.
In 1989, the building was sold at auction for lack of payment of
taxes. The house since suffered the stripping of many of its interior
architectural details, subsequent neglect and finally abandonment. The
carriage house behind the residence burned down in 1999. Nonetheless, much
of the grandeur of the building remains in its profile, massing, roof
line, chimneys, porch and exterior articulation. |
