Excerpt from Early Recollections of Buffalo: Read Before the Buffalo Historical Society, May 19, 1908 At last I was missed; my haunt discovered; a sound admonition followed, also the padlocking of the roof door. This was my first great deprivation. Years afterward I was again on the roof, but it wasn't interesting. There were houses, or something in the way. From those same garret windows (i had the attic for a play-room) I could look far up Delaware avenue, nearly to Tupper street, and see the domed roof of Doctor John son's cottage, afterward the dwelling of the Buffalo Semi nary, and which is still standing, as it was rebuilt after its fire. I stood at that garret window and saw it burn, and watched the domed metal roof fall in with a wonderful shower of colored fire and sparks. (and, excepting this one, for many years there were almost no houses on Dela ware street below Allen.) About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
