Boies-Lord House
(Boies pronounced BOYS)
5853 South Park Avenue, Hamburg, NY
The original house, built circa 1840, was a one and a half story, three room cottage with two rooms divided by a plank wall on the first floor. A bedroom was over the present parlor. There was no hall at this time, a ladder being the way to the second floor.
The Empire style furnishings and reproduction wallpaper are all 1840s period correct. Empire style furniture (1815-1840) was used in Greek Revival houses.
