Summary
edit
| Description | The Henry W. and Mary Noyes Sprague House, 65 Oakland Place, Buffalo, New York, October 2021. An early example of Colonial Revival architecture, this lovely two-and-a-half-story brick residence features a tall, steeply-pitched hipped roof that borrows from the French Renaissance aesthetic, pierced with a trio of pedimented dormers (classical on the sides, curved in the middle) and twin chimneys at the peak. The façade, for its part, displays the style's requisite symmetry and boasts most prominently a bowed Ionic portico framing the entrance, with a balustraded balcony above, with jack-arched windows to the side and above. Scion of a family that had long been one of Buffalo's most prominent, Henry Ware Sprague (1855-1932) was a renowned figure in his own right: as partner in the law firm of Moot, Sprague, Brownell, Marcy & Carr he was renowned for his even temperament and considered reasoning, and as board member of the Buffalo Public Library, Buffalo Historical Society, and Buffalo Fine Arts Academy he was a major power player on the local cultural scene. He and his wife Mary Cornelia née Noyes lived there from the house's completion in 1895 until their deaths in 1932 and 1954 respectively. |
