Summary

Description
English: As seen in July 2021. One of last to be erected during the initial build-out phase of the neighborhood, the house at 164 Lombard Street in Buffalo, New York was built in 1903 and, along with its neighbors, sits at the back end of what was earlier the property of the Broadway Market. It's a fairly standard two-story wood frame worker's cottage, lacking stylistic distinction but serving as a good example of the "telescoping" phenomenon common to homes in the Polish enclave of Buffalo's East Side: at left you can see the progressively smaller and narrower additions to the rear of the building, erected to accommodate the growth of Buffalo Poles' notoriously large families and/or to facilitate dividing the houses into multiple units to maximize revenue for the landlord. For the first few years of its existence, 164 Lombard held true to the usual pattern of frequent turnover of residents; however, it soon became home to a pair of long-term tenants who together represent a good representative example of the typical neighborhood denizens of the era: Andrzej Pytlak (1884-1915), a lathe operator at the Pierce Cycle Works, lived there with his family from 1906 until his untimely death at the age of only 31, while Niagara Tool Works blacksmith Walenty Malachowski (1884-1958) took the other unit in 1910 and stayed until 1928. The house, while vacant today, is protected from the demolition that has befallen so many East Side residences of similar vintage by its status as contributing resource to the locally-listed Broadway-Fillmore Historic District, established in 2018.
