Summary
[edit]DescriptionWilliams-Butler House, Delaware Avenue and North Street, Bryant, Buffalo, NY - 52630976928.jpg |
English: Built in 1896-99, this Classical Revival-style mansion was designed by Stanford White of McKim, Mead and White for George L. Williams, a banker with the Erie County Savings Bank, and his wife, Annie Williams. The house replaced the earlier Aaron Rumsey Mansion, which stood on the same site from 1856 until 1895. The house was sold to Edward Hubert Butler Sr., publisher of the Buffalo Evening News, in 1906 when the Williams family left Buffalo. Following Butler Sr.’s death in 1914, the house and his newspaper were inherited by his son, Edward Butler, Jr., whom lived in the house until his death in 1956, and both the business and the house were inherited by his wife, Kate Robinson Butler, whom continued to live in the house until her death in 1974. After Kate Butler’s death, the house was sold to the William C. Baird Foundation in 1976, and the newspaper was sold to Warren Buffett. The house was donated to the Roswell Park Hospital upon its acquisition by the Baird Foundation, which sold the house and the adjacent Metcalfe House to Delaware North Companies in 1979, which planned to demolish both houses. After a heated preservation battle, the Metcalfe house was demolished for a parking lot in 1980, while the Williams-Butler House was preserved, being renovated and subsequently sold in 1990 to Varity Corporation to serve as their headquarters. The house was sold back to Delaware North after the merger of Varity with a company based in Cleveland in 1999, and was deeded to the University at Buffalo in 2000, now serving as the Jacobs Executive Development Center. The house features a buff roman brick facade with stone trim, a low-slope roof enclosed by a parapet with multiple stone balustrades, a cornice with modillions and dentils, stone lintels, trim, and sills, blind arches over the first floor windows, one-over-one double-hung windows, quoins, a two-story front portico in the center of the front facade with stone corinthian columns, a cast iron second story balcony, cornice with dentils, and rooftop cast iron balustrade, front entrance door with a decorative transom, stone base, a rear porte-cochere, carriage house that is a simpler variation of the design of the main house, and grounds that feature landscaped gardens and driveways. The house is a contributing structure in the Delaware Avenue Historic District, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974. |
