Summary
[edit]DescriptionBill's Corner Market - fmr Frederick Karcher dry goods store, Felton's Flower Shop et al. - Buffalo, New York - 20201109.jpg |
English: Bill's Corner Market, 318 Hampshire Street at Arkansas Street, Buffalo, New York, November 2020. Without being representative of any particular style, the building is a fine example of your typical late-19th-century commercial architecture: salient details include a bracketed cornice circumnavigating the roofline with a dentil course beneath, rough-textured stone lintels and windowsills on the second and third floors, Classical-inspired pilasters separating the ground-floor storefront windows and framing the entrance, and - more unusually - a two-story, wooden projecting bay window appended to the corner. The exact date of the building's construction and the first few years of its history are not known for certain: though it appears on the 1889 Sanborn map of Buffalo, city directories do not record any occupant until 1892, when it served as Frederick C. Karcher's dry goods store. An Alsatian by birth, Karcher (1845-1904) settled in Buffalo in 1869 and operated a tavern and restaurant at the Elk Street Market for many years before entering the retail business; he remained until 1902. Subsequent to that, the storefront at 318 Hampshire passed through the hands of a revolving door of different merchants of diverse descriptions, none of whom seemed successful enough to endure very long despite its prominent corner location at one of the West Side's busiest intersections: occupants during this period included Theresa Brandon's millinery shop (1903-07), Joseph Zaepfel's grocery store (1907-1912), the Buffalo Dry Cleaning Company (1912-1915), John Fourby's butcher shop (1916-17), etc. etc. ad nauseam. The building finally secured a long-term tenant in 1935, when Felton's Flower Shop moved in from its previous location at Main and West Utica and stayed on through at least the 1960s. Bill's Corner Market is the current occupant and also among the longest-tenured ones in the history of the building; it's been open since 2005. |
