Summary edit
| Description |
English: The Dr. Thomas Callahan House, 38 Orton Place, Buffalo, New York, January 2020. Especially built for placement on a narrow lot (a feature it has in common with many adjacent houses on its block), the outstanding architectural features on this c. 1887 Queen Anne-style beauty are the finial-topped octagonal turret crowning the northeast corner of the house (wholly reconstructed to its historic appearance c. 1980s or '90s after having being removed previously) as well as the odd fenestration scheme on its north façade (to the right in this photo), featuring several ovate lights and an unusual window in a diagonal diamantine frame, all placed seemingly at random along the side wall of the house. The Callahan House was featured in the January 1890 "Architects' and Builders' Edition" of Scientific American magazine, which declared the house "one of the prettiest examples of cottage architecture in Buffalo" at the time of writing. Born in Ohio and resident for a time in Pennsylvania before moving to Buffalo in 1871, Dr. Thomas Callahan (1832-1899) was the secretary of Pierce's World's Dispensary and Surgical Institute, a patent medicine corporation headed by Dr. Ray Vaughn Pierce. |
