Summary

Description
English: Built in 1894, this Chateauesque-style house was designed by Edward Kent for S. Douglas Cornell and his wife, Lydia Hadfield Cornell, whom once owned the Cornell Lead Works across the street on the present site of the Midway Row Houses, and was a member of the Buffalo Amateurs performance group, as well as being a noncommissioned officer of the New York National Guard. After Lydia’s death, Cornell sold the house to Frances Wolcott, whom lived in the house for several years and hosted notable celebrities before selling it to Albert Jay Wight, whom lived there for many years with his much younger wife, London Tatina Moslova Wight, whose family was from an aristocratic Russian background and had fled Russia during the revolution. In the late 1930s, the house was sold, becoming a rooming house, and was utilized as a nightclub in the 1940s, an antique shop in the 1950s, and was occupied by Ziegler Medical Supplies in the 1960s and 1970s, followed by a photography studio in the 1980s. The house was purchased by Attorney Thomas J. Eoannou in 1994, whom extensively renovated it to house his law practice, which remains the building’s use to this day. The house features a stone exterior with a rusticated stone base, a circular tower at the southeast corner with a conical roof and corinthian pilasters, a front wall dormer with an arched pediment, decorative trim panels, a decorative finial, and corinthian pilasters, a steeply pitched hipped roof that once contained a fully-featured theater in the attic underneath, side dormers with gables, a porch with a semi-circular front, and a two-story semi-circular bay window on the south facade. The house is a contributing structure in the Allentown Historic District, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.
