Fascinating house of history and a wonderful tour.
Phelps Mansion Museum的点评
点评：We were staying in downtown Binghamton on Sunday, June 9, 2024. We knew nothing about the Phelps Mansion, but in looking for something to do I found it online, it sounded great and it was open. My wife and I walked over there about 3 PM for the last tour of the day. The house was built in 1870 at a cost of $120,000 (would be almost 3 million in 2024 dollars) by the wealthy banker & judge Sherman Phelps. Unfortunately, his wife soon died, then he died in 1878, his sons lived there and then died in 1881, the widow of the son lived there another year alone then died in 1882. This grand home was only in the Phelps family for 12 years and later sold to a feminist group in 1905. They held weekly meetings there for 100 years, then it became a museum in 2005. The house has gone through many changes, it has a ballroom addition now, and was even an apartment building for awhile in the 1890s. As a museum the third floor was removed due to severe roof damage and a new exterior facade was installed to look like the original. Most all the original furniture has been long gone, sold off by relatives after the family died. The house was refurnished with same period pieces acquired by the museum. All the original woodwork, large mirrors and light fixtures are still there, though they has been converted from gas to electric. The tour was awesome, and after the tour, you are allowed to wander around the house on your own, take all the photos you want. The house sits all alone now on the block with a public library next door and a large church across the street where this street was once called "mansion row" in what was known as the Gilded Age. This is a true gem, don't miss seeing it.
翻译：2024 年 6 月 9 日星期日，我们住在宾厄姆顿市中心。我们对菲尔普斯大厦一无所知，但在找事做的时候，我在网上找到了它，听起来很棒，而且它开放了。我和妻子下午 3 点左右步行到那里，进行当天的最后一次参观。这座房子建于 1870 年，耗资 12 万美元（相当于 2024 年的近 300 万美元），由富有的银行家兼法官谢尔曼·菲尔普斯建造。不幸的是，他的妻子不久后就去世了，然后他于 1878 年去世，他的儿子们住在那里，然后于 1881 年去世，儿子的遗孀独自在那里住了一年，然后于 1882 年去世。这座豪宅只在菲尔普斯家族手中住了 12 年，后来于 1905 年卖给了一个女权主义团体。他们在那里举行了 100 年的每周会议，然后在 2005 年成为一座博物馆。这座房子经历了许多变化，现在有一个舞厅，在 19 世纪 90 年代甚至一度是一栋公寓楼。作为博物馆，由于屋顶严重受损，三楼被拆除，并安装了新的外立面，使其看起来像原来的一样。大多数原始家具早已不见了，在家人去世后被亲戚卖掉了。这座房子重新装修了博物馆收购的同一时期的家具。所有原始的木制品、大镜子和灯具都还在那里，尽管它们已经从燃气转换为电力。这次游览很棒，游览结束后，您可以自行在房子周围闲逛，拍下所有想要的照片。这所房子现在孤零零地坐落在街区上，旁边有一个公共图书馆，街对面有一座大教堂，这条街在所谓的镀金时代曾被称为“豪宅街”。这是一颗真正的宝石，千万不要错过。
