Rose, with a garden house/garage behind it.","why_significant":"The nomination calls it an outstanding example of late nineteenth century eclectic architecture, tied to a period of prosperity in Binghamton. It combines Queen Anne, Romanesque and Elizabethan details, and its bulging conical corner tower is described as unique in the city. It also reflects the career of Robert H. Rose and the growth of the riverside neighborhood.","narrative":"Built about 1896 on Riverside Drive in Binghamton, this three-story mansion was designed by local architect C. Edward Vosbury for Robert H. Rose, a Pennsylvania lawyer who retired to the city in 1893 and invested in gas, telephone and banking ventures. The yellow brick walls, red sandstone trim and red ceramic tile roofs carry a mix of Queen Anne, Romanesque and Elizabethan details. Its most striking feature is a bulging, cone-roofed corner tower, described as unique in Binghamton, along with a small cantilevered turret. Inside, carved oak and cherry woodwork, stained glass and tiled fireplaces survive, and a Greek stoa-inspired garden house stands behind. The house served as a private residence until 1948, then as a convent until 1974, and has been unoccupied since. It was listed as a notable example of the eclectic taste and prosperity of turn-of-the-century Binghamton, despite deterioration.","period_of_significance":"1800-1899","architect_builder":"C.
