English: Massage Therapeutic Arts, 313 Elmwood Avenue, Buffalo, New York, March 2021. The exquisite ornamentation on this two-story, hip-roofed Colonial Revival manse is real eye candy, appearing seemingly everywhere you look: engaged Ionic pilasters framing the façade; arcade molding on the second-story frieze with a dentil row above; still more engaged Ionic pilasters with diamond molding framing the panes of the second-story bay windows; Doric pilasters, a broken pediment, raking rows of corbels, and a fanlight on the front dormers, and - most prominently - a majestic bowed portico facing Elmwood Avenue at street level with Ionic columns, a stylized bound-leaf motif on the frieze, and a cornice bracketed with modillions. The spindle balustrades that once defined the outer edge of the portico have been replaced by decorative ironwork that's elegant in itself. The house's original owner, Charles Hallam Keep (1861-1941), was a prominent figure indeed: a Harvard-educated attorney native to Lockport who later branched into the financial field, serving a stint as a director of the Marine Bank, Keep is best remembered as President Theodore Roosevelt's Assistant Treasury Secretary and head of the Committee on Department Methods (popularly known as the Keep Commission), charged with rooting out corruption and graft in government services. Keep lived in the house for only five years - from its completion in 1893 through 1898 - whereafter it passed into the hands of Charles McClellan Clarke (1865-1933), an insurance and real estate agent who was originally self-employed and later served as a partner in the firm of Armstrong, Roth & Cady. The length of Clarke's residency in the house is uncertain: city directories list him at that address as late as 1919, but according to his obituary, he "had been making his summer home at Wanakah his permanent residence" since about 1908.
