The Stephen Ball House (also known as Old Ball Mansion) is a historic house located on Main Street in Berkshire, Tioga County, New York.

Description and history

It is a Greek Revival style temple form frame house built in about 1849. The house is a two-story, four bay wide house with a four pier portico and single-story rear wing.[2]

Stephen Ball was the son of Josiah Ball and an early settler of the area. He lived in Berkshire at least since 1808. Stephen Ball was a local landowner and in 1833 sold the plot for the church just north of this home. Ball ran a local brickyard and owned a local tavern.

The home has remained in the Ball family at least until 1980. The home was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on July 2, 1984.[1]
