Local Landmark Designation

Property Information:
The Stonegate Mansion, 270 Buffalo Rd., East Aurora, NY 14052 (also known as
Henry Knox Mansion)

Date of Public Hearing: December 10, 2025 6:30 pm Village Hall, East Aurora

Public Comments:
1. Dennis Brady- 270 Buffalo Road #51- President of the Board Managers of the
Stonegate Condominium HOA- He asked where the Village Code is located to look at.
Chairwoman Colopy said it is available on the Village website. He asked what
procedures, declarations, bylaws, and rules the HPC follows. Chairwoman Colopy said
that we are a certified local government, so they go by what the State of New York has
established and said that they are not independent of the local government. Mr. Brady
said that he is upset that there were no conversations had with the Board of Managers
from Code Enforcement or the HPC before action was taken.
2. Lisa Lubozynski- 270 Buffalo Road # 80- She said that she doesn’t agree with the
Village going behind the HOA’s back but does agree that the mansion is important
historically. She said that she would like more importance and recognition brought to
the Knox mansion.
3. Code Enforcement Officer Cassidy read an email that was sent in for the public
hearing, supporting the nomination. Please see attached.
3. Dennis Brady- 270 Buffalo Road #51- President of the Board Managers of the
Stonegate Condominium HOA- He said that the board approved a long study of the
mansion starting in 2024, and the board approved the findings. He said that they held
a town hall meeting with the residents to give the information, and they are currently in
the process of voting about the mansion. He said he believes this is a private matter
on private property.
