HISTORICA L AND ARCHITECTURAL IMPORTANCE: Excellent example of the Colonial Revival style as it was built in the Parkside neighborhood . . Jewett Parkway was originally opened in 1875 by Elam R. Jewett whose estate was at the southwest corner at Main Street and Jewett Parkway. The street followed Olmsted 's plan for the Parkside neighborhood and can be seen on his 1876 map of the City of Buffalo. In 188 4 Elam Jewett deeded the street to the City of Buffalo, "on condition that it shall be placed in charge of the Park Commissioners and be by them maintained as a Park approach, in the same manner as the other Park approaches now are or hereafter may be maintained." 21.
