Before COVID-19, I had coffee with a group of friends every Friday morning at Steve Seaberg’s State Farm insurance office in Langdon Plaza. Sometimes we wondered which part of the Langdon Mansion we were sitting in.
After a sleepless night last month with a lot of thinking, I got up to find a floor plan of the old mansion and overlay it on today’s Langdon Plaza to see what was what.
The Langdon Mansion is well documented by stereographic views dating from 1878 to 1880. The surviving furniture and decorative accessories are preserved at the Chemung County Historical Society and Quarry Farm, east of Elmira.
