Abstract
The Claude & Helena Buffet Residence is significant under Criterion C as a bungalow style house built during the 1920s. Built in 1929, the residence includes many features typical of the style including its prominent, projecting, gable roofed-enclosed lanai, square columns, and the use of local lava rock, and open, overhanging eaves with exposed rafter tails. Craftsman elements include the flowing living and dining room spaces with their 15 pocket doors and oak floors as well as the 6 x 1 double hung sash windows. Unique to the home are the ornate Cephas B. Rogers four socket, flush mount, ceiling lights. Cephas Brainerd Rogers (1836-1919) was the eldest of four brothers who gained national recognition for their manufacture of silver-plated goods and flatware.
