Susan B. Anthony's home faces you at 17 Madison Street in Rochester, New York. The two-story Italianate brick house you see was built between 1859 and 1864 by dentist Husted Wanzer as a twelve-room home designed for middle-class occupants. Notice the ornamental wood entrance porch, the shingled front gable and the oriel window—details that still speak to its original design.
This is the home Susan B. Anthony occupied from 1866 until her death in 1906, and the place where she was arrested in 1872 for voting illegally in a federal election. Those events turned a domestic address into a national landmark; the house was declared a National Historic Landmark on June 23, 1965, and listed on the National Register of Historic Places on October 15, 1966. Since 1945 it has been operated as a museum by the nonprofit Susan B. Anthony Museum & House, Inc. The museum campus now includes three buildings and welcomes roughly 13,000 visitors a year, a figure limited by the house's 35-person fire occupancy.
A planned expansion nearby aims to raise annual capacity to 30,000–50,000. This is the home Anthony occupied from 1866 until her death in 1906, its ornamental porch, shingled gable and oriel window still visible for you.
