Susan B. Anthony House Rochester
— — the front parlor where the vote was a crime.
Not only on a wall.
“The brick row house where Susan B. Anthony lived for forty years and where, in November of 1872, she was arrested for casting a ballot in the presidential election. She was tried, convicted, fined one hundred dollars, and refused to pay it. The house stands at 17 Madison Street on Rochester's west side, two doors down from the home she shared with her sister Mary, and it has been a museum since 1945. The parlor is kept as it was the day the marshals knocked. From the studio.

Each tile is finished by hand in our Knoxville studio. Artwork is slowly infused into the ceramic surface under high heat and pressure, and rests beneath a thin glossy finish. The colour lives in the surface, not on top of it.

The place, in three passes.
The Susan B. Anthony Museum and House is a brick Italianate row house at 17 Madison Street on Rochester's west side, in Monroe County, New York. Anthony lived here from 1866 until her death in 1906, sharing the home with her sister Mary. It became her national headquarters for the suffrage movement, the address from which she ran the National American Woman Suffrage Association. The house was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1966 and has operated as a museum since 1945.
On November 5, 1872, Anthony and fourteen other women voted in the presidential election from a barbershop polling place a few blocks from the house. Two weeks later a deputy U.S. marshal knocked on the front door of 17 Madison Street and arrested her for voting illegally. Her trial in Canandaigua in June 1873 ended with a directed verdict of guilty and a hundred-dollar fine. She refused to pay; the government did not pursue collection. Women in New York did not vote legally until 1917.
The museum is open Tuesday through Sunday, with guided tours roughly hourly; closed Mondays and major holidays. Admission is around fifteen dollars for adults, with discounts for students and seniors. The house is two blocks from the Susan B. Anthony Square park, where a bronze statue of Anthony and Frederick Douglass, Let's Have Tea by Pepsy Kettavong, was installed in 2001. Anthony and Douglass were friends and Rochester neighbors for decades, and the statue marks that.
