426 East Buffalo Street

Anson Spencer built this Italianate house across the street from his previous residence in 1869. Notable features include the modillion-like brackets at the eaves and the small, paired brackets supporting the window architraves.

The house’s portico is unusual for the round arches enclosed by the supports on each side. These arches are echoed in the cupola windows and the windows of the double front door. Carved floral designs grace the doors’ wooden panels.

After Anson Spencer died in 1876, his widow and daughters lived in the house well into the 1900s.
