English: The former Chillion Farrar House, 506 Delaware Avenue, Buffalo, New York, May 2020. Built in 1870, the house is an excellent example of the then-popular Second Empire style, with a handsome mansard roof framed by bracketed cornices at both its top and bottom, a row of dormer windows framed by Classical pendiments and pilasters, segmental-arched windows on the first and second floors topped by decorative keystones, and an entrance that brings Georgian Revival elenets into the mix, with fluted Ionic columns and an ornate cartouche at the top. Born in Detroit, Chillion C. M. Farrar (1829-1907) was an ironworker by trade, starting out in the trade at the Sidney Shepard Iron Works where he moved up to manager and, by the 1860s, as partner at the firm of Farrar, Trefts & Knight, manufacturers of aluminum, iron, and brass castings, pattern work, gas engines, grade bars, propellers, and - increasingly as the years went on - boilers and engines for oil rigs. The house remained in the ownership of the Farrar family until 1916, when it was sold to the Knights of Columbus for use as their clubhouse. It became mixed-use office space in 1970, but was vacant by 2003, when it was purchased at auction by developer James Jerge Jr. and converted to luxury apartments.
