English: The Barneth Satuloff House, 143 Windsor Avenue at Forest Avenue, Buffalo, New York, February 2022. Built by the contracting firm of W. H. Dill & Co. the Satuloff House was built in 1922 on a plot of land once owned by the family of John D. Larkin (of Larkin Soap Company fame) and is a contributing property to the NRHP-listed Elmwood East Historic District. Here we see in real time, almost as if preserved in amber, the late-period Italian Renaissance Revival style transitioning into the more streamlined and stylized Mediterranean Revival. The exterior facing - a beige brick veneer over tile with accents in ashlar, and stucco on the attic story - ultimately places it in the former category, but the austere simplicity of the Classical decor (not to mention the shallow-pitched tile roof and ample use of decorative ironwork) point the way forward toward the latter. Examples include a recessed entrance that's set into a projecting bay and crowned by a cartouche displaying the house number, as well as the second-floor balconette whose arched French doors are topped by a decorative keystone and flanked by blind roundels. According to an article on the house printed in a September 1922 issue of the Buffalo Evening News, the interior as originally conceived continued the theme: the living room featured mahogany woodwork and rough-textured plaster walls, a brightly lit conservatory with sunken indoor pool, three bathrooms finished variously in pink, green, and white tile. Original owner Barneth Satuloff (1884-1944) was the Russian-born co-founder and president of Satuloff Bros., dealers in wholesale poultry who had been in operation at the Elk Market Terminal for other 40 years. He lived in the house from its completion until c. 1940.
