Publication Type: Individual Presentation Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: Abstract for the National Council for Black Studies THE HOUSES OF BUXTON A legacy of African Influences in Architecture By Patricia Lorraine Neely Retired professor of St Clair College Windsor, Ontario The present of African influences in architecture is something which until now has not been fully acknowledged. Most of black history is focused on people, events music inventions. Black history can be experienced on a daily bases in the material culture of house types in our mediate environment. The Purpose of the presentation is to identify and to recognize African influences through illustrations of houses built by the enslaved Africans and free people. It will visually demonstrate African characteristics brought from the continent of Africa to the American colonies and along the Underground Railroad into the black Settlement of Buxton Ontario Canada. When migrating people carry with them the memory of how they built their houses in their minds from one continent to another. Seventeenth century house types brought by settlers, who formed the colonies in America, are well documented by scholars of architectural history. These house styles are known as preadapted seventeenth century house types which expressed the popular trend in Europe at that time, namely the Gothic house type. In the eighteenth century, however, a large variety of house types evolved. These house types had curious styles and characteristics not native to the European continent; never the less they were called English Colonial, French Colonial, and Dutch colonial. There was a whole new category, American in origin, researched by scholars and called folk housing. In the population at that time in all of the colonies was one common dominator, the enslaved African. The captive people of Africa built architecture. As they built houses in the eighteenth century with out the ability to read word or blueprints the Africans combined European elements given to them by the slave owners with the memory of how they built their structures before being stolen from their home land. When escaping for freedom to Canada in the mid-nineteenth century, they brought that memory with them into the settlement of Buxton Ontario. This presentation will chronicle the elements for the first time of those memories and identify distinct styles that can be attributed to the descendents of the Underground Railroad. This is history finally recognizing the amazing contributions to architecture, of the enslaved Africans in North America, to ensure it is never forgotten.
