Porter-Allen House

Between Ferry and Breckenridge Streets (Originally 1191 Niagara Street)

architect: Peter Buell Porter (?)

owner: Peter Buell Porter

years built: 1825-1855

demolished: 1911 (?)

Still completely in the late eighteenth century tradition, this house is as solid as it is simple. The delicate porch and the thin woodwork of the windows almost alone suggest its Post-Colonial date.
