The Goodrich house built by Joseph Ellicott in 1822 was moved to Amherst Street in 1899. At this time, and again in 1911, it was enlarged and remodeled by George Cary.

It is a pity that the general admiration for the houses of Buffalo’s earliest decades came so late that few of them have been preserved on their original sites, or moved like this and adapted for modern use.
