Castle Inn: 1908
Circa 1908. "Castle Inn at Buffalo, New York." The former residence of Millard Fillmore. 8x10 inch glass negative, Detroit Publishing Company. View full size.
Statler and Fillmore
I grew up in Buffalo and loved the architecture there. All of it, even the dismal funerals. Here's a link to a site that shows the Castle Inn in context. The first image on this page gives a good sense what it was like.

Funeral
Having grown up near Buffalo, there were many of these similarly-dismal old-style buildings. We absolutely hated them, referring to them as 'Funeral'.
Bummer no longer here

1831 - Original house on the site: Albert H. Tracey House
1853 - Second house: John Hollister House
1858 - House purchased by Millard Fillmore
