Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Built in 1919-1920, this Classical Revival-style building was designed by Esenwein and Johnson for Thomas Dickinson to house an upscale jewelry store. The building is clad in limestone with a granite base, large storefront windows flanking a central doorway with a decorative trim surround featuring pilasters, a cornice with dentils, and the words “Levy King & White,” the name of the advertising firm that restored the building in the 1980s, carved into the architrave over the door’s transom, with two smaller doors at the outer bays, and quatrefoil panels with “LKW” carved into them over the doors. Above this, the building’s second floor features a two-story central portico with Doric columns and pilasters with capitals featuring leaf motifs, a metal railing, three window bays with casement windows, and pediments over the second floor windows. Above the proviso is an architrave with rosettes over the pilasters and columns, with a cornice with denials above, and a blind balustrade on the front of the parapet, which encloses the building’s low-slope roof. The building was home to the T. and E. Dickinson Jewelry Store until 1965, and then to the Martin Jacobi men’s clothing store until 1982. In 1984, the building became home to now-defunct advertising firm Levy King & White, which restored the building’s facade and added their name and initials to the building, losing the building to foreclosure in 1991, with the building then becoming home to the Buffalo Enterprise Development Corporation. The building presently houses commercial office tenants.
