Summary
[edit]DescriptionFormer Houde Engineering Company office building, Buffalo, New York - 20211212.jpg |
English: The office building of the former Houde Engineering Company factory at 537 East Delavan Avenue in Buffalo, New York, as seen in December 2021. Designed by architect G. Morton Wolfe in the so-called "Stripped Classical" style that was very commonly used for industrial office buildings in the era, the façade of this building is of tile prick and comprises a repeating series of pilaster strips, with well-worn but still ornate cut-stone panels as capitals that contain relief sculptures of what look like spoked wheels. Above, consecutively, lie a narrow dentillated frieze and a cornice undergirded by interestingly designed modillions and engraved in a guilloche pattern, and a parapet dotted with semicircular projections and centered on an engraved cartouche. The Houde Engineering Corporation was founded in 1919, and operated out of a building in Black Rock before the building seen here was erected in 1925. The company manufactured a wide range of machine tools and auto parts but was best known as the holder of the U.S. patent for the hydraulic suspension shock absorber invented by French-born engineer Maurice Houdaille, which was used in most early-model Ford automobiles. After a series of acquisitions and mergers, the company moved its headquarters to Florida in 1977 but continued to operate its Vibratech division out of its former Buffalo home until the early 1990s. The sprawling factory complex that once lay to the rear was razed in 2017 to make way for the Northland Workforce Training Center, a $44 million hub complex designed to offer training for careers in the advanced manufacturing and energy sectors; however, the office building has been preserved and proposed for the National Register of Historic Places as part of the would-be Northland-Belt Line Historic District. |
