English: The George Lewis House, 197 Summer Street, Buffalo, December 2019. Built in 1891, the house is one of a few extant ones built by local architect Charles D. Swan. The Queen Anne style is exemplified here by the asymmetry and varied composition of the façade (including Potsdam sandstone on the ground floor), an engaged hexagonal tower, a portico and porte-cochère facing Summer Street that feature a row of Tuscan columns, a simple architrave above the portico adorned with dentils and topped by a low hipped roof. The large frontal gable that's de rigueur for the style is ornamented with dentils, faced with shingles, and framed by a wide bargeboard ornamented with foliated moulding at its ends. George L. Lewis (1857-1932) was a Buffalo-born, Yale-educated attorney who was admitted to the bar in 1882 and had moved to Queens, New York by 1910. Subsequently, it served as the house of Dr. High Kennedy throughout most of the 1920s before its sale to a new owner in 1929 who used it as a rooming house. It was still an apartment building in 1983, when it was purchased by the American Cancer Society for use as one of their 31 "Hope Lodges", offering free rooms to cancer patients and their caretakers in order to defray what might otherwise be staggering fees for hotels or other lodging.
