110 The Parkway
Year Built: 1928
Architect: LeRoy Burnham
Charles Newman, son of Cayuga Heights developer Jared, and his wife Marion wanted a smaller house than those he had grown up in, recognizing that they could not afford the wealthy lifestyle of his parents. Times were changing; the Depression was coming. Marion would do much of the housework, so theirs was reputedly the first village house built without a maid's room.
Jared Newman was much impressed with his son and daughter-in-law's home, designed by Ithaca architect LeRoy Burnham, so much so that he turned his attention to the building of smaller homes a bit farther north in the Village from the original section where his own grand house stood at the intersection of Highland Road and The Parkway. Smaller and cheaper housing, he hoped, would not mean "Cheap John"; his solution was the development he called Klinewoods, beginning in 1932.
