Summary
[edit]DescriptionRobert W. Pomeroy House, Buffalo, New York - 20210325.jpg |
English: The Robert W. Pomeroy House, 70 Oakland Place, Buffalo, New York, March 2021. A fantastic example of high Georgian Revival residential architecture of a grandiosity reflective of the street on which it's situated, the Pomeroy House was built in 1896 to a design by the firm of Boughton & Johnson. They conceive here a façade that's divided into three pavilions, each of which is flanked by engaged Ionic pilasters in gleaming white wooden trim that contrasts sharply with the red brick exterior walls. On the slightly recessed lateral wings you'll find pairs of six-over-six windows topped with stone lintels with keystones and corner blocks and flanked by black shutters, whereas the central portion is focused on a simple yet elegant Ionic portico which frames an entrance that's a textbook expression of the style: framed by a leaded-glass fanlight and sidelights with elegant tracery, with stone entablature and still more engaged Ionic pilasters present too. Topping it all off, consecutively, is a denticulated entablature, a cornice with prominent modillion brackers, and a modest-sized pediment that continues the dentil-modillion motif. A balustraded terrace projects from the façade at ground level. The house's original owner, Robert Watson Pomeroy (1867-1935), hailed from Auburn and came from one of the most prominent political families in upstate New York: his father, Theodore M. Pomeroy, was a State Senator-turned U.S. Congressman who's notable in history for serving the shortest tenure as Speaker of the House of Represdentatives (one day in 1869), while his son, Robert Jr., was also a State Senator; both were Republicans. Harriet Tubman, a close friend of the family, was his nanny as a child. Pomeroy himself was a Harvard-educated attorney who worked for many years in the firm of Rogers, Lockwood & Milburn and held business interests in a variety of different locally-based firms. Pomeroy lived in the house until 1910, when he moved to a 35-acre country estate in Eggertsville on the site of what's now the NRHP-eligible Pomeroy Park subdivision. |
