Summary[edit]

Description
English: The Buffum House, the oldest extant house in South Buffalo, located at 49 Buffum Street (corner Parkview Avenue) and dating to c. 1850; this photograph dates to June 2020. Built in a vernacular farmhouse style influenced by the Greek Revival, it was home to wagonmaker Horace A. Buffum (1816-1895), his wife Elmira née Taylor (1820-1905), and their daughter Erika (1852-1939) until c. 1878, and passed through a series of private owners in the years since while maintaining an impressive degree of its original architectural integrity. After a fire in late 2008 threatened the house with demolition, a consortium of community leaders headed by Assemblymen Michael Kearns purchased the house and have been restoring it ever since; plans are to establish a historical museum on the ground floor and accommodations on the second floor for families of patients at nearby Mercy Hospital.
