67 South Street, Auburn (Cayuga County) is an historic nineteenth

century mansion that was once home to Dr. Allen Macy Dulles, a

leading Presbyterian theologian and head of the Auburn Theologi-

cal Society. Dr. Dulles purchased 67 South Street in 1904 from the

Woodrusa family of local merchants.

Dr. Dulles and his wife raised ve children in the house, two of

which became prominent gures in naonal diplomacy. John

Dulles was the Secretary of State under President Eisenhower and

his brother Allen Dulles was the Director of the Central Intelligence

Agency under President Eisenhower. Both were instrumental

in craing the naons Cold War policy. In 1931, shortly aer

the death of Dr. Dulles, his widow sold the property to New York

State to serve as Auburn Correconal Facilitys superintendents

residence.

Thereaer known as the wardens home, 67 South Street served

in that capacity for nearly 80 years during which it became a hub

for state and local gatherings and community acvies. The Au-

burn Correconal Facility, the states second prison, was founded

in 1816 and is a maximum-security facility.

Originally built c. 1840, the house received its fashionable Queen Anne-style appearance someme around 1880, with early twen-

eth-century Crasmen embellishments. Original architectural features are abundant throughout the interior and exterior of the

building, including the asymmetrical faade with wrap-around porch and porte-cochre. Interior features include led and marble

replaces, hand carved paneling, moldings, and balustrades, built-in cabinetry and book cases, and stain glass windows. Also featured

with the property is a nineteenth-century, two-story carriage barn set back behind the house.

The property is situated within the fashionable historic secon of the City of Auburn known as the South Street Area Historic Dis-

trict, which also includes the William Seward House, also on South Avenue, and the Willard-Case Mansion, now home to the Cayuga

Museum. The district is listed on the Naonal Register of Historic Places and is architecturally signicant as a largely intact residenal

district that reects Auburns nineteenth century prosperity and prominence.

Auburn, located in the Finger Lakes Region of New York State, was a naonal center of social change in the nineteenth and twen-

eth century, fueled largely by upstate New Yorks religious movements. Auburn was home to famed abolionist and Underground

Railroad acvist Harriet Tubman, who purchased property in Auburn from William Seward and provided shelter there for her family

and escaped slaves. Auburn also contributed to the rise of the womens surage movement and prison reform. The sale of 67 South

Street provides a unique opportunity to own a piece of Auburns historic legacy.
