Sheldon Court

Built in 1902, Sheldon Court was built by Charles Lacy Sheldon Jr (AB 1901, AM 1902), an Ithaca businessman and entrepreneur originally from Auburn, NY. Located on College Ave just across the stone bridge built by William Henry Sage from the Cornell campus and on the route of the Ithaca Street Railway, Sheldon Court was a private dormitory for men. Sheldon was owner-proprietor of the Triangle Bookshop which occupied part of the first floor. Other shops shared the first floor. The upper floors contained studies and sleeping rooms. The building has a flaring U-shape plan. The facade is a deep red brick with wide rectangular windows. Horizontal string-courses, raised brick moldings and the wooden bracketed cornice are distinctive. The building was extensively renovated as a Cornell University residence hall in 1982. The chimneys were removed, a fifth floor was added, and a fire stair installed in the rear.
