English: The Richard A. Waite House, 361 Pennsylvania Street, Buffalo, New York, January 2022. A contributing property to the locally- and NRHP-listed Allentown Historic District, the house was designed by, lived in by, and named for Richard A. Waite (1848-1911), a London-born architect who emigrated with his family as a young child and, in the final quarter of the 19th century, worked prolifically both in the Buffalo area as well as in Canada, where as the first American architect to receive major commissions from the Canadian government, he's credited as the designer of Ontario's provincial parliament buildings in Toronto. In his design for his own residence, Waite employed a delightfully eclectic stylistic mix that draws on influences from a variety of aesthetics that were popular around the time of its construction (1875). The sharply pointed gable and decorative truss on the projecting third-story oriel cribs from the Stick style, while the stubby corner tower on the left side of the façade (next to the two-thirds-width front porch) points the way forward to Queen Anne architecture while also signifying the French Second Empire with its mansard roof. Waite continued living in the house until 1903.
