Summary

Description
English: The H. G. Haussauer House at 1000 North Forest Road, Amherst, New York, July 2020. Architecturally, the salient features of this one-and-a-half-story, wood-framed Craftsman bungalow is, firstly, its sprawling asphalt-shingled hip roof, and secondly, the ample wraparound veranda it covers with the help of twinned pairs of wooden pillars. The eaves of the roof widely overhang the exterior walls as requisite for the style, but the exposed rafter tails have unfortunately been lost to a subsequent renovation. Nonetheless, it retains enough of its integrity - and its setting was unusual enough, namely an area that was not suburban but rural at the time of its construction in the first decade of the 20th century - for the Town of Amherst Historic Preservation Commission to have designated it a heritage property in 1999 (just in time to prevent its demolition to make way for a modern cul-de-sac subdivision). Henry Grant Haussauer (1873-1963) was its initial owner, and although he was born in Amherst, the bungalow appears to have been a second home for him: records show him moving to the Lower West Side of Buffalo, New York immediately upon the 1905 death of his father George, who lived elsewhere in the town. Haussauer was employed at the Connecticut Street Armory.
