Description
English: The White-Douglas House, 144 Chapin Parkway, Buffalo, New York, March 2021. Among the grandest residences on Chapin Parkway is this Colonial Revival beauty whose most eye-catching detail is a full tetrastyle Corinthian temple front. Classical details abound elsewhere, too: the overhanging eaves of the side-gabled roof and the underside of the frontal pediment are all supported by modillions with dentil rows beneath; an elegantly balustraded second-floor balconet peeks out from behind the columns; a strict bilateral symmetry defines the façade. Windows are each crowned by splayed lintels in cut stone with ornamental keystones. The house was built in 1902 for Mary Ann White (née Dobbins; 1840-1911), the widow of James Penfield White (1844-1894), a prominent local businessman and politico who owned the White Building downtown. Also living in the home at the time and prominent in his own right was her son James Platt White (1878-1937), a nationally notable authority on and critic of the American dramatic arts. The house was sold after the death of the former, whereupon it passed into the ownership of attorney William Alexander Douglas (1859-1921) and his wife Alice née Hedstrom (1866-1939), a pioneering female business executive with the coal and coke dealership of E. L. Hedstrom & Co. Mr. Douglas lived in the house until his death, and his widow moved in with her daughter at the Hotel Lenox the following year.
