Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: The Hubbell-White House, 103 Oakland Place, Buffalo, New York, December 2020. The first independent commission of notable local architect William H. Boughton, the Hubbell-White House is a good example of the commingling of the Shingle and Colonial Revival styles of architecture that was popular around the time of its construction (1891). The overall aesthetic is more indebted to the former, cases in point being the exterior cladding of the building in the style's namesake material, the asymmetrical façade with a stubby engaged turret on its north side, and the overall heavy and low-to-the-ground massing of the structure. However, Classically-inspired touches such as the Palladian window in the front gable and the festoon carvings atop the wraparound porch on its side elevation point to the latter's influence. However, the most notable architectural feature of the house is undoubtedly its unusual cross-gabled gambrel roof. The house was built for the Rev. William Stone Hubbell (1837-1930), who lived there for the first six years of its existence. A decorated Civil War veteran (he was awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor during his time as owner of the house) and the nephew of David M. Stone, the well-known editor of the New York Journal of Commerce, Hubbell went into the ministry upon his return to civilian life, accepting the post of pastor of the nearby North Presbyterian Church in 1881 and remaining until his resignation on January 1, 1897 (by which time, perhaps not coincidentally, the bequest left to him by his recently deceased uncle had made him a very wealthy man). Rev. Hubbell is recoded as living in Plainfield, New Jersey as of the 1900 census. Subsequent to Hubbell's time there, the property passed through the hands of several different owners in quick succession before finding a relatively long-term one in Seymour P. White (1873-1937), real estate investor who was best known as the managing owner of the White Building in downtown Buffalo. |
