Seward House MuseumAuburn, New York
Located in the heart of historic Auburn, New York, the property was home to William Henry Seward, governor of New York State and Secretary of State under both Abraham Lincoln and Andrew Johnson. The property remained in the family until 1951, when William Henry Seward, III died and bequeathed the large home, carriage house, barn, and landscaped grounds to a foundation for establishing the Seward House Museum.

In 2020, the Museum hired Landmark Consulting, LLC, preservation architects, to develop an adaptive re-use plan for the barn and carriage house. MLLA collaborated with Landmark Consulting to address the buildings’ environs. Design for the landscape wove together the house, barn and carriage house by formalizing the museum entrance, providing an ADA-compliant system of walkways, and reintroducing 19th century plant material that once existed on the property. Construction on the project is scheduled for 2023.
