Garrett House (Syracuse, New York)

The Frank Garrett House, also known as the Garrett Residence, is a historic home in Syracuse, New York, built in 1913 and designed by Ward Wellington Ward. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1997 alongside other Ward-designed homes, and its most distinctive exterior feature was a roof made to resemble an English cottage thatch roof, since covered with modern asphalt shingles. The first floor living room contains a Mercer fireplace depicting Saint George and the Dragon, a feature customary in Ward Wellington Ward houses, and the house has since appeared prominently in Dana Spiotta's 2021 novel Wayward.
