615 Columbia St, Elmira, NY 14901. Not for sale, I hope whoever bought restored her beautifully.

The mansion was built in 1876 for Lorenzo Webber (1817-1884) and his wife Jane Welch Webber. Mr. Webber climbed the ladder first by buying a farm, then dry goods, lumber, milling and tanning business. In 1867 he became part owner of the Bloss Coal Mining and railroad Company, and after that became successful in real estate and banking. He also served in the New York State Legislature for two years. Sometime before 1898, the addition was built when Webber's daughter Adele and her husband Stephen C. Gray lived there. Mr. Gray ran his real estate office from this address.
