Description and history

The house was built in 1866 by A.B. Dale for George McChain, on land purchased from Ezra Cornell.[2] It is a three-story, Italianate structure with red brick and brown trim, with full basement.[3][2] The main block is 42 feet square and features a hipped roof and cupola.[3]

The house is named for Judge Douglass Boardman, the first dean of Cornell Law School, who purchased it in 1886.[2] In 1911, the building was sold to the Ithaca Conservatory of Music, now Ithaca College.[2][3]

In 1966, the Ithaca College Museum of Art opened in the Boardman House, but the museum closed in 1972.[4] The college sold the building in 1972.[5]

The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on May 6, 1971 and currently used for offices.
