Hi, I have a copy of the article "Buffalo: Once It Was Gateway To The West" by Julie Jennsen from Davenport's Quad-City Times. The edition was published on Sunday, May 23, 1976-pp. 8 & 9D. It featrures illustrations of 5 older homes there. The first one is the Robert RUDEN home, "an early rock house at 636 3rd St." Other homes are one of Mrs. Ed RODEWIG, formerly owned by W.L.MILLER, a Bufallo postmaster; The Ed PARENT home, built in 1856 by W.F.KAUTZ ..."believed to have been a station for the underground railroad."; the 1897 home of Josephine HIERSMAN owned by the Ray SCHLEDEWITZ family; and the U.S. Post Office, once a lunchroom specializing in Mexican chili. Here is something that might be fun for a local Buffalo researcher. The article ends with this second to last paragraph: "A Buffalo Centennial project is the recognitionof houses built before 1900, and the town has more than 80. The PTA's project for the bicentennial is a coloring book of old Buffalo scenes with sketches by Cindy WHITEHEAD, a West High senior." Next posting I will list the surnames found in this article.
