William Henry SEWARD
William H. Seward house - Auburn, New York
The Seward House was built in 1816 on four acres on the outskirts of Auburn, NY as a ten-room townhouse for a wealthy Cayuga County Judge named Elijah Miller. Miller moved into the home in December 1817 with his two young daughters, mother, and sister. His younger daughter Frances was introduced to her future husband by her classmate Cornelia Seward. When William Henry Seward asked for Frances’ hand in marriage the Judge required the two to live with him in his home at 33 South Street. Seward moved into the house in October 1824 and oversaw an addition built onto the townhouse from 1846-1848, which included a new kitchen and dining room on the main floor and servants quarters. Judge Miller remained the owner of the home until his death in 1851..
