Summary
[edit]DescriptionEdgar B. Jewett House, Buffalo, New York - 20210804.jpg |
English: As seen in August 2021: the Edgar B. Jewett House at 210 Summer Street in Buffalo, New York, is a representation of the Shingle style favored by locally-based "society architect" Charles Day Swan blown up to an unusually massive scale. Here we see the style's requisite enormous gable, slightly flared at the bottom, divided horizontally into two successive projecting layers, enclosing a double window flanked by pairs of engaged Doric columns, and set above a bowed bay window. At left is a stout conical-roofed tower pierced by a pair of pedimented dormers and with rough-textured Medina sandstone at its base. The opposite side of the building features the entrance, framed by a round arch and crowned by an overhanging second-floor balcony. The house's original owner, Edgar Boardman Jewett (1843-1924), was at the time he moved in a successful executive in the company his father founded: the John C. Jewett Manufacturing Company, manufacturer of a diverse range of products but most famous for their refrigerators. However, he spent most of his tenure in the house climbing the local political ladder: a lifelong Republican, he was appointed in March 1894 by then-Mayor Charles Bishop to a five-year term on the Board of Police Commissioners, but eight months later was elected mayor himself, a post in which he would serve until 1897. Highlights of his time as mayor included the construction of Masten Park High School, the removal of user fees for the Buffalo Public Library, and the donation of a portion of Delaware Park for use as what's today the Buffalo History Museum. After the end of his single term, in addition to resuming his role as president and general manager of Jewett Refrigerator, he was also elected president of the Columbia National Bank. Jewett lived in the house from its completion in 1891 until his move to suburban Hamburg in 1900. |
