claims:
Built in 1873 for the Buchner family and later owned by Daniel Hooker, son of Thaddeus (see No. 13). Daniel was a Town Councilor and Mayor of Welland 1898-1899. It passed to the Reilly family in 1906 and remained in that family for almost 100 years. Constructed of red Hooker brick, its wide eaves and narrow, round-arched windows capped with buff brick are characteristic of the Italianate style.
