Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: The Charles and Florence Sears House, 75 Barker Street, Buffalo, New York, June 2020. Quite the anachronism: the house owes its Federal design (a style that had been out of fashion for nearly three-quarters of a century at the time of the house's construction in 1914) to the owner's fancy for a house he'd seen while on a seaside vacation in New England (some sources specify Nantucket); he commissioned architects Bley & Lyman to design an exact replica. The symmetrical clapboard façade, the side-gabled roof, the double-hung windows framed with classic black shutters, and the walnut trim in the interior are all hallmarks of the style. Born in Brooklyn, Charles Brown Sears, Esq. (1870-1950) came to Buffalo shortly after graduating from Harvard Law School and soon ascended the ranks to the post of Erie County Bar Association (1915-1916), and State Supreme Court Justice (1917-1940). Sears sold the house in 1925 to his fellow State Supreme Court Justice, Daniel J. Kenefick (1863-1949). |
