This is Balmanno Cottage. Unfortunately, due to the foliage in front of the cottage I couldn't get much of a shot. Now a little bit of history: Built by Robert Balmanno, c.1831, this Gothic Revival home sits overlooking beautiful Seneca Lake in Geneva. Balmanno maintained his own backyard and described it as: " a hanging garden, on half a dozen terraces that extends from the cottage door to the beach". It is a fanciful interpretation of medieval architecture featuring a steeply pitched roof, trefoil-motif vergeboards & pointed gables and arches. The cottage was enlarged in 1851 but not extensively modernized until 1926. It was acquired by Dr. and Mrs. Wm Walker in 1957. Mrs Walker, the former Blanchard Bartlett, was the daughter of Rev. Murray Bartlett who was the President of Hobart & William Smith Colleges from 1919 - 1936. Blanchard Bartlett spent her childhood years in the President's House at the college in Geneva. In March of 1957 she married Dr. Wm. Walker, an orthopedic surgeon, and in that same year they purchased the Balmanno Cottage property. During her 40 years at the cottage she was an ardent supporter of the colleges, the historical society and the Geneva community as a whole. The house is a virtual time capsule representing the lifestyle of the post-WW II years. It is furnished with the Walker's fine collection of early American antiques and decorated in a traditional style with fabrics and wallpapers from the noted New York design firm of Brunschwig & Fils. Combining past and present, the Walkers approached modern life by rooting themselves in a more comforting American past defining 1950s culture with a mix of 18th and 19th century pieces. Dr. Walker accumulated the house's collection of antique furnishings which his wife would later bequeath, along with the cottage & gardens to the Geneva Historical Society in 1997. In 2008 rose bushes were grown and planted to recreate the rose garden that was Mrs. Walkers pride and joy. The cottage remains much as it did upon Mrs. Walker's death. It is located at 583 South Main Street in Geneva, NY.
