Northside Triangle Neighborhood Tour

Ithaca’s Northside Triangle neighborhood, bounded by Cascadilla Street to the south, Cascadilla Creek on the east, and Route 13 to the west, was developed in the 1830s after Cascadilla Creek was channelized. The neighborhood drew a mix of white-collar professionals and working class people of diverse ethnic backgrounds, including many new immigrants. The neighborhood today is a varied combination of older frame houses from the nineteenth century, surviving cottages built as workers’ homes, and public housing projects.
