Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: The Abraham Black House, 43 Summit Avenue, Buffalo, New York, September 2020. A contributing property to the Frederick Law Olmsted-designed Parkside East Historic District, the Black House's most outstanding feature by far is found at the projecting eaves of the front-gabled roof, whose bargeboards (along with those of the ornamental gables above the second-floor windows as well as the border of the attic window) are ornamented with elaborate cut-out patterns in the Swiss Chalet style. The rest of the house is far more pedestrian in design; in the inventory form they submitted to the New York State Division for Historic Preservation, the Buffalo Friends of Olmsted Parks posit an influence from Frank Lloyd Wright's Prairie School on the overall architecture of the house, one which is not at all apparent to this photographer. Its longtime owner Abraham B. Black (1860-1941) was a grain merchant with the firm of Charles Kennedy & Company when he moved in; by the time of his retirement he'd ascended to the post of vice-president. He lived in the house from 1909, when it was completed, until his death. |
