Residential Buildings

The Harry N. Burhans House is a Greek Revival home at 2627 East Genesee Street in the Salt Springs area of Syracuse, New York, built in 1837 on a 100-acre plot as, according to local record, the first house in the area. Architect Ward Wellington Ward oversaw a 1916 renovation that added four Mercer-tile fireplaces to the interior. Reduced from its original acreage to about 0.66 acres, the house occupies a prominent corner at old Salt Springs Road and East Genesee Street and was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2007.
