The circa 1810 Warren and Polly Hull House is a rare surviving example of early
Federal Style Architecture in the Niagara Region. It is the oldest substantial
stone dwelling in Erie County. Built
by Revolutionary War veteran Warren around 1810 on land purchased from Holland
Land Company agent Joseph Ellicott in 1804. It is listed on the National Register
of Historic Places. The
Hull House harbors the story of the multifaceted cultural heritage of the Niagara
Frontier. It is the story of the early settlement of Western New York, the westward
migration of Americans, and a story of distinctive Federal Architecture. A
tale linked to the Revolutionary War, the War of 1812, and to the tragic burning
of Buffalo by the British in 1813. It tells of early pioneer farm life and agriculture,
and the saga of Warren, Polly and the 12 Hull children - on into the American
Civil War.
