English: As seen in July 2021. The house at 90 Lewis Street in Buffalo, New York is architecturally undistinguished, but serves as a good representative example of the building stock in the East Side neighborhood sometimes known as Metcalfe. Though it's now a single-family residence, it was a two-unit apartment house at the time of its construction in 1918, home to a series of working-class industrial laborers. This and the neighboring houses are of slightly newer vintage than those in adjacent blocks: the area began to urbanize in roughly the 1880s and was situated amidst Buffalo's stockyards, the second-largest in the country at their height, after those in Chicago. Not surprisingly, the area became an epicenter of the local meat-packing industry, but another major employer was the American Agricultural Chemical Company plant across the street at what's now the site of Franczyk Park - the workplace of a majority of the houses along this stretch of Lewis Street. Neighborhood residents of the day tended not to live in one place for too long; 90 Lewis's longest-tenured early tenant, metalworker Albert J. Dauman (1889-1979), stayed there for only three years beginning in 1930. A little later, in 1934, this was briefly home to the photographer's great-great-aunt Sophie Wick née Graczyk (1910-1967) and her husband John.
