Fay House

Fay House is a Federal style mansion in Cambridge, Massachusetts that currently serves as the main administrative building of the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study at Harvard University.

Ireland lived in the house with his wife Sally, but was forced to mortgage the property in 1809.

In October 1831, the house was purchased by Stephen Higginson, bursar of Harvard College.

In 1890, the mansard roof was removed, and a third story was constructed to house the college library.

In 1892, another addition on the west side of the building was built to create an auditorium and classrooms.
