Tour Overview
Stroll by notable downtown buildings spanning over three decades of work by architect William Henry Miller.

William Henry Miller (1848-1922) was one of Ithaca's most prolific local architects, dramatically reshaping the built environment of Ithaca and Cornell University. After attending Cornell for two years, he began practicing locally, designing such landmarks as Cornell's McGraw Tower, Uris Library, Risley Hall, Barnes Hall, and numerous private residences and local churches.
