English: The Charles Dean House, 270 Campbell Boulevard, Amherst, New York, July 2020. A handsome vernacular Italianate dating to the early years of that style's popularity - at least as far back as 1865, and possibly as much as a decade earlier - the building's first recorded occupant was Charles Dean (1834-1900), who, in addition to living there with his wife Adelaide and three children, operated a general store there. By 1870 he was living in Tonawanda, but the building, centrally located in the buzzing hamlet of Getzville, went on to serve a multiplicity of functions under a multiplicity of different owners: variously, it housed a tavern, a post office, as well as (on its second floor) a court house and a dance hall. Above all, though, the Dean House served as a roadside inn for travellers along the New York Central's Canandaigua and Niagara Falls Railroad, the so-called "Peanut Line" which extended between those two cities between 1854 and its abandonment in 1963 (passenger service having ended in 1932), with stops in Amherst at Getzville, Transit Station (now East Amherst), and Vincent's Corners (a no-longer-distinct hamlet centered along Niagara Falls Boulevard immediately south of what is today Ellicott Creek Park). It's now a two-unit apartment building in private hands.
