Description
English: The Edward H. Leadley House, 67 Ellicott Avenue, Batavia, New York, August 2022. Built in 1910, this charming two-and-a-half-story residence located just off the city's main drag is an early work of Buffalo-based but Batavia-born architect Robert North, who here furnishes an early example of the Tudor Revival, an architectural style that would come to predominance in ensuing decades among upper-class homes such as this. The aesthetic is best exemplified here by the composition of the façade, in which light-colored stucco contrasts starkly with prominent decorative half-timbering of dark wood slats. Aside from that, the design is a deceptively odd mishmash in which some of the Tudor Revival's trademark characteristics (façadal asymmetry, multiple prominent chimneys) are completely lacking, while others (wide vergeboards lining the eaves, multi-paned and relatively small windows, multitudinous gables) are indeed well evident. A druggist by trade, Edward Henry Leadley (1874-1956) operated the Leadley Drug Company, with two locations on Main Street. By the time of his retirement to Virginia in 1928, he had also expanded into automobile sales, operating Leadley Motor Sales, dealer in Overland and Willys-Knight vehicles; his son, also named Edward, took over both businesses thereafter.
