Farnam Mansion
The Farnam Mansion is a 19th-century mansion in the city of Oneida, which is located in Central New York State midway between the cities of Syracuse and Utica. Built circa 1862, it is situated on the southwest corner of Main and Stone Streets within the city's Main-Broad-Grove Streets Historic District, which was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.
==Architecture==
Constructed in the Italianate style, the mansion's exterior features a low-pitched roof, projecting eaves supported by large decorative cornice brackets, tall windows with ornate pediments, bay windows at the north and south sides of the house, and a wrap-around porch at the north and east sides. A square belvedere (also known as a cupola) is situated above the east side of the mansion. It has a mansard roof and a trio of arched windows on all four sides. The front entry of the mansion features a pair of arched mahogany doors with windows, hand-carved panels, and rare ornamental bronze doorknobs made by the Metallic Compression Company of Boston, which feature a highly stylized dog's face and paws. The mansion's interior features eleven-foot high ceilings, ornate plaster ceiling medallions and crown mouldings, tall paneled tiger-oak doors, and two sets of paneled tiger-oak pocket doors. Three of the first floor rooms each contain a marble fireplace. The main parlor retains its original cut-crystal gasolier, which has never been converted to electricity, and an ornate pier mirror on a marble top base. A staircase leads to the second floor where there are four bedrooms, five bathrooms, a small library, nursery, and servant's quarters.
A black and white photograph (circa 1970s) showing the front of the Farnam Mansion appears on page 11 of the 1976 book, ''Country Roads - Madison County's Heritage: A Resource for the Future'' (Madison County Planning Board; Jennifer G.F. Solms and Paula A. Schoonmaker, editors). The photo's caption, which refers to the mansion as the "Farnam House" states that the builders "probably copied their design from the popular pattern books which published plans for the latest architectural styles." An uncaptioned black and white drawing of the mansion appears on page 8, and a paragraph describing some of the architectural details of "Oneida's Farnam House" appears on pages 130 and 131 in the Madison County Architecture section (by Brooks Stoddard.) An excerpt from the paragraph states that the mansion "features a tower topped by overhanging cornices
supported by ornate brackets. Similarly, the windows are decorated with very heavy hood-moulds and cornices, details which add considerable richness to the building. Wrought iron designs of vines and flowers further enhance this effect." Stoddard also calls the mansion a prime example of the county's Italian Villa style of architecture which began circa 1850 as part of the Alexander Jackson Davis and Andrew Jackson Downing innovations.〔''Country Roads - Madison County's Heritage: A Resource for the Future.''
