Originally constructed circa 1803, the Thomas Poynton Ives House is one of the most exquisite examples of the Early Republican period of architecture in America. Set on nearly two acres, this three-story, brick structure was built by Caleb Ormsbee, a master builder. The home is an enduring monument to Adamesque-Federal style. Take in the views of the city skyline as you approach a circular porch with Ionic columns, leading to the main doorway flanked by sidelight windows and topped by an elliptical fanlight.

Adamesque woodwork leads to the main staircase, which spirals upward in a unique flourish. On the left is the fireplaced, dining room connected to a butler’s pantry and kitchen. To the right of the center hall is the drawing room with elaborate plaster molding gently lit by the room’s original crystal candelabrum and handsome fireplace. The adjacent library was renovated in the 1870s, when an oval west wall was added and the room was finished in black walnut. Multiple sets of French doors step out to the stunning rear terrace and expansive grounds.
