Historic Phelps House

The Phelps mansion recalls a day of opulence and elegance. Its exterior is constructed of Carthage limestone and conveys an image of strength, while the interior features hand-painted wallpaper, tile mosaics, and a Shakespearean library. Decorated with period furnishings, the structure remains little changed from the days occupied by the William Phelps’ family(1895-1916). Owned by Carthage Historic Preservation, Inc., this property may be reserved for special occasions.
