Originally built in 1871 for Sherman David Phelps—an entrepreneur, banker, and one-time mayor of Binghamton—the Phelps Mansion Museum stands as the last surviving structure on what was once known as “Mansion Row” along Court Street. Designed by the renowned Isaac G. Perry, one of New York State’s most prominent 19th-century architects, the mansion reflects the opulence of the Second Empire architectural style. Perry also notably designed the Binghamton Inebriate Asylum (1858) and helped complete the New York State Capitol Building (1899).

Inside, visitors are treated to 14-foot ceilings, Italian marble floors, black walnut staircases, and authentic period lighting fixtures, all carefully preserved to showcase the elegance of the Gilded Age.After 1905, the mansion became home to the Monday Afternoon Club, a private women’s organization devoted to education, philanthropy, and social reform. The club maintained the property for over a century, adding another rich chapter to its legacy.
