Built in the 1850s, The Lyon Mansion is a rare and exquisite gem, once home to esteemed inventor and humanitarian, Mr. Edmund Lyon. Every detail of the residence reflects his visionary spirit—from the luminous solarium and masterful woodcarvings to the hidden study tucked discreetly behind the stairwell.

Mr. Lyon’s philanthropic legacy extended far beyond Rochester, fostering friendships with remarkable figures such as Alexander Graham Bell and Helen Keller—both of whom were guests within these storied walls. Today, the mansion stands as a living tribute to his life, his work, and the enduring elegance of a bygone era.
