190 Benjamin Hill Road

This Victorian home was built by Joseph Kellogg about 1879. The Kellogg family came to Newfield from Vermont in 1809. The house was brought in pieces by the railroad and then hauled to the site by horse and wagon. A later owner of the house was Richard McGreevy, who was the proprietor of the Lehigh Valley House in Ithaca. McGreevy was also a road builder and contracted to build Route 13 through the village in 1912. He used stones from the stone fences on the farm as a base for the road. Succeeding owners were Harvey Williams, Howard Wilson, James House, and Robert and Edith Tallman who presently own the house.
