Oneida Community Mansion House : ウィキペディア英語版 | Oneida Community Mansion House
The Oneida Community Mansion House is located on 160 acres of land near the Oneida Creek in Madison County, New York. This land became available for purchase after the surrounding territory was acquired by the State of New York in a series of agreements with the Oneida Indian Nation in 1840 and 1842. John Humphrey Noyes and the Oneida Community moved on to the land in 1848, shortly after Noyes was charged with committing adultery at his community in Putney, Vermont. ==First Mansion House== Following the designs of trained architect Erastus Hamilton and the guidance of community founder, John Humphrey Noyes, the first Mansion House was erected in the winter of 1848. The structure provided a larger space for the Oneida family after it quickly outgrew the two small farm houses and two log cabins left behind by the Oneida Indians. One of the Mansion House's most prominent features was the tent room, located on the third story. The 35 by 30 foot space consisted of twelve tents that conveniently denied members of isolation and encouraged social interactions. Another important area of social gathering was at the common table that all members were required to eat at during meal times. A few years after its construction, the Oneida Mansion House became overcrowded and its members quickly realized the pressing need for more space. In its October 25, 1855 issue, the community newspaper, ''The Circular'', recognized that the "smallness of space has served as a compress on excessive individuality, and brought element of Communism", but this space was not meant to occupy one hundred and seventy members at one time.
