Lehigh Valley Railroad Station is a historic railway station located at 806 West Buffalo Street, Ithaca in Tompkins County, New York. The Passenger Station and Freight Station were designed by local architect A. B. Wood and built in 1898 by the Lehigh Valley Railroad. The Passenger Station is a Classical Revival structure with a Romanesque feeling. It is a massive square building with extensions and sheltering roofs for baggage operations. At one corner is the entrance marquee and a four sided street clock mounted in a Corinthian column. The main waiting room section has a hipped roof and features a pedimented porte cochere. The Freight Station is a long, gray painted frame building with a two-story clapboarded section and a long freight storage part. Lehigh Valley passenger trains making stops there included the Black Diamond, Maple Leaf and Star.It was used as a passenger station until February 4, 1961. In 1966, local resident Joseph O. Ciaschi, an early local leader in the historic preservation movement, converted the abandoned building into a restaurant. Known as The Station, the restaurant operated until September, 2005, when it was closed and the building was converted for use as a branch office of the Chemung Canal Trust Company: an Elmira-based bank. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974.

Glazer Arena is a 6,700-seat indoor arena located in Ithaca, New York. It is used primarily for athletics, and is the home of the Ithaca College Bombers indoor track and field team. The arena, named after Ithaca alumnus Edward ('92) and Shari Glazer, was made possible by their generous donation. It opened in the fall of 2011 and has since become the premier sports and entertainment venue for the Elmira/Corning/Ithaca region. In addition to track and field and concerts, the arena and the adjacent field house are also used for conventions, trade shows, graduation ceremonies and other special events and serve as the practice facility for most of Ithaca College's sports teams. Both facilities feature a total of 130,000 square feet of space; the arena itself contains a 200-meter six-lane track.
