In 1874, the City of Rochester, fueled by
industrial development and the continuing
success of the Erie Canal, made several large
annexations, nearly doubling its area. Part of
this expansion included the area we now refer
to as Maplewood. During the ensuing decades,
with the extension of the Lake Avenue streetcar,
the neighborhood soon filled with grand
homes built by industrialists and professionals,
intertwined among the naturalistic landscape
of the river valley and Frederick Law Olmsted’s
designed parks. In 1894, John C. Hayden, then
chief detective and assistant chief of police,
constructed this grand Queen Anne style
home for his wife, Linda, and their four children.
Detective Hayden would go on to become chief
of police, ultimately serving for 37 years.
The broad front porch, ashlar stone walls,
soaring chimney, and substantial proportions
of this grand Queen Anne set the tone for the
resplendent interior within. A pair of oak doors
give way to a shallow extravagant vestibule
with an intricate encaustic tile floor and walls
clad in lincrusta. The central stair hall beyond
gleams with oak paneling, moldings, and inlaid
floors that carry throughout the house. A small
jewel box of a music room, embellished with
decorative plaster and a mottled green tile and
bronze fireplace, is to the left.
Through a pair of oak pocket doors to the right
is the front parlor, with stained glass windows,
one of the many original light fixtures, and
more gleaming woodwork. The rear parlor has
another fireplace, with an ornate oak mantle and
mirror, and leads to the dining room at the rear
of the house or the small study next to the stair
hall. The dining room has a vaulted pressed tin
ceiling, a broad window bay, and an especially
detailed inlaid parquet floor. Off of the dining
room is the good sized kitchen and small full
bathroom awaiting your creative vision. A rear
stair to the basement, enclosed porch, and
former breakfast room round out the first floor.
Ascending the stairs past the stained glass
window at the landing, the second floor features
three large bedrooms with more inlaid floors,
stained woodwork, a shared bathroom, and a
completely separate two bedroom apartment
to the other side of the central hallway. The full
height attic retains the bones of two former
apartments that were once beneath the soaring
rooflines.
The tall, large basement and detached three-
car garage complete the property. This 4,197
square foot diamond in the rough is located in
the Maplewood Historic District and is eligible
for New York State rehabilitation tax credits.
With a new owner and some TLC it is ready to
shine. Contact Eman Safadi of Hunt Real Estate
ERA/Columbus 718-825-2232 and make this
Maplewood mansion yours for $144,900.
