THE HOUSE SERVED AS BOTH THE HOME AND OFFICE OF DR. JAMES MCGARRY, AND LATER THAT OF HIS SON, PEDIATRICIAN DR. HOWARD MCGARRY. BETWWEN THEM, THE HOUSE WAS THE CENTER OF MEDICAL CARE FOR COUNTLESS FAMILIES IN NIAGARA FALLS OVER THE COURSE OF NEARLY NINETY YEARS.
Architectural Notes
THIS SUBSTANTIAL HOME, WITH ITS CORNER TOWER, PRESSED BRICK AND LIMESTONE EXTERIOR, AND IRREGULAR ROOFLINE HAS CHANGED LITTLE IN THE COURSE OF A CENTURY. THE LARGE NEOCLASSICAL FRONT PORCH FEATURES ROUNDED COLUMNS, FRIEZE AND A DECORATED CLOSED PEDIMENT. A SURGERY WAS ADDED TO THE REAR OF THE HOUSE IN 1905.
