Summary
| Description |
English: The Schenck-Hale House, Harlem Road, Amherst, New York, December 2019. Erected c. 1831, this rough-hewn stone house was the first to be built in Snyder. It first served as home to John Schenck (1807-1854), a native of Dauphin County, Pennsylvania who arrived in Erie County with his family as a young boy of fourteen, and who upon attaining adulthood was gifted a portion of his father's vast land holdings on the rural outskirts of Buffalo. Schenck would go on to open the first store in the hamlet as well. He moved with his family to Porter County, Indiana in 1850, where he took up farming only to die a few years thereafter. Later the property passed into the hands of one A. Hale, who reputedly operated an Underground Railroad station there during the years before the Civil War. The house was sold to the Park School in 1922 which uses it today as offices. |
