Summary
| Description |
English: As seen in August 2021, the pair of low stone walls on the north side of Main Street in Amherst, New York, flanking the south end of Getzville Road at both sides, was added in 2002 to the town historic register. Though similar in appearance, the two walls have sharply different histories: the one at the northeast corner of the intersection probably dates to the 1910s or '20s and originally served a decorative function to mark the entrance to an early suburban subdivision, similarly to the many other stone entranceways, lamp posts, and gate houses along Main Street in the hamlets of Eggertsville and Snyder. Its counterpart on the other side of Getzville Road, however, is significant as the oldest such stone wall remaining along Main Street, dating to the 1820s and probably erected by pioneer homesteader Christian Frick (1794-1885). The wall was later incorporated into the country estate of coal merchant Arthur Hedstrom, whose Gate House is also a registered historic property of Amherst. |
