Marcellus is a village located in the town of Marcellus in Onondaga County, New York, United States. The population was 1,813 at the 2010 census. The village is southwest of Syracuse and is in the southern part of the town of Marcellus.
Settled in the late eighteenth century, the village was incorporated in 1853. Water power from Nine Mile Creek attracted mill development (wool, paper, and gunpowder) while the Seneca Turnpike (image above), passing through the village center, provided access.
The Dan Bradley House was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.
The Village of Marcellus retains some of the finest architectural and historic landmarks in Central New York, such as the Dan Bradley House (59 South Street), one of the oldest and least altered houses of the region. Very ambitious for its early date, it retains fine detail in the Federal style, even original windows with old glass. The Dan Bradley House was possibly built in the late eighteenth century. The Caleb Gasper House (formerly the Marcellus Free Library, 4 Slocombe Street), c. 1811, retains an entrance likewise in the Federal Style. Two important Greek Revival mansions are the Curtis Moses House (36 South Street), c. 1838, and the Dr. Lake I. Tefft House (18 North Street), c. 1830. The First Presbyterian Church of Marcellus (East Main and North Streets), 1851, is a handsome Greek Revival landmark. Although unfortunately clad in modern vinyl siding, it is otherwise little altered. The Hiram Reed House (31 North Street), 1853, is a fine example of a residence in the new Italianate style of the mid-mimeteenth century, surrounded by park-like grounds. The Edward Talbot House (Masonic Lodge, 46 East Main Street), c. 1835, is an earlier brick building altered in the Italianate style. Original entry porch columns were removed in more recent times, but otherwise the building is an excellent example of mid-nineteenth-century architecture.
