The John J. Aiken House (also known as the Aiken-Silvernail House) is a historic house located at 6805 Poverty Hill Road in Ellicottville, Cattaraugus County, New York.
Description and history[]
It was built in about 1837, and is a two-story, "L"-plan, heavy timber-framed dwelling with modest Greek Revival style detailing. It is set on a stone foundation, has a front gable roof, and is sheathed in narrow clapboard sheathing. It was built by Rev John J. Aiken, Presbyterian minister and agent with the American Bible Society.[2] It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on February 20, 2013.[1] Sadly, this glorious structure has been confirmed to have been torn down within the last couple of years.
