Description and history
editThe Queen Anne-style house was built in the mid-1890s to be the home of Dr. Archer D. Babcock, a founding member of the Crouse-Irving Hospital. It was Babcock's home until 1913.[2]
Beginning during World War II, it was a post of the Jewish War Veterans of the United States of America. They converted the second floor into a large meeting room. During the tenure of this organization, the house played an important role in the Jewish community of Syracuse.[2]
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on May 12, 2004.[1]
The house was restored by the University Neighborhood Preservation Association and was divided into 4 condominium units, 3 owned by the association and 1 by a private owner. An open house was held in 2015.[3]
