Located in the historic Washington Square District, the double lot and buildings were owned by the Reid family, founders of Reid & Company hardware established in the late 1800s. The Reid family owned the property for fifty years before transferring to the Tanner family who also lived in the house for decades.

The house is an original 1910 historical mirror image duplex, intentionally built of two homes for two generations of families side by side. While you’ll be staying inthe north-east home, the front entry vestibule, basement laundry area, and ½ of the back yard are shared with the mirrored home. The colonial revival has been beautifully preserved and includes many of the original details such as hand carved wood, brass & crystal light fixtures and original butlers pantry. The house is elegantly furnished, with rooms on two floors including a covered front porch, entry vestibule, beautiful staircase, parlor sitting room, formal dining room, renovated kitchen, original bathroom, 1/2 bathroom on main level, two bedrooms and enclosed rear porch. The main parlor includes an entertainment cabinet with a 43” LED TV, smart blu-ray player, Roku system and bluetooth soundbar. The master bedroom includes period furniture, a queen sized bed, 43” LED TV, smart blu-ray player, Roku system, bedside USB charging station, radio alarm clock and A/C (during summer months). The second bedroom includes period furniture, a full sized bed, 40” LED TV, smart blu-ray player, Roku system, bedside USB charging station, radio alarm clock and A/C (during summer months). The original bathroom has ceramic wall tiles and includes an antique claw foot tub. The renovated kitchen includes stainless steel appliances, refrigerator, electric stove/oven, microwave, toaster, drip coffee maker, small espresso machine and Nespresso Citiz machine (capsules not included). Washer and dryer are located in the basement. It is a short walk to the pedestrian bridge riverwalk, close to downtown, restaurants, bars, shops and movie theater. SUNY Oswego college is a 10 minute drive and public transportation is also within walking distance. Off street parking is provided and high speed Internet is included. Step back in time at the Reid-Tanner House and experience everything historic Oswego has to offer.

    Beautiful home. The kitchen was clean and very well equipped. The stairs to the bedrooms is steep. The claw footed shower may be difficult for older people. The washer and dryer are well maintained and useful, but they are located in the basement. The owner has taken the time to label everything and we felt safe and cool in the July heat! Thank you

    This is a lovely Victorian home - furnished and decorated inside with an eclectic collection of antiques and reproduction pieces. Oswego is a very walkable city, and this is close enough to walk to the downtown and yet far enough away to be in a quiet neighborhood. The clawfoot tub, with curtain to modify to a shower was a bit of a challenge to negotiate for a 70-ish (healthy weight) woman with two prosthetic knees.

    We were pleasantly surprised by the Reid-Tanner house. While a historic home, with elegant furnishings and decor, we felt very comfortable and at home for our time here. The host was very communicative, the extra touches, like cookies, added to the well stocked and supplied rooms. We had one rainy day, and it was great to be at home here and relax in the lovely setting. A great location for an adult getaway to Oswego! And try the Rooftop Restaurant for a delicious dinner.
