Summary

[edit]
Description
English: The Joseph Lloyd Smith House, 161 Aldrich Place, Buffalo, New York, June 2021. Much differently than the houses on the west end of Aldrich Place, closer to South Park Avenue, which were among the first in this area of South Buffalo - by 1915, that stretch was a densely packed row of houses surrounded by acres and acres of empty fields - the Smith House was built in 1950 on what was among the last undeveloped land that remained inside the city limits after the Second World War. Its Cape Cod-style design - cozy and charming, albeit simplistic and utilitarian - certainly typifies the small-scale "starter houses" that were being built in tracts all over the metro area at the time, marketed to newly returned World War II veterans who were only just beginning the process of marrying, settling down and raising families. The house was, in fact, built for just such a family: that of Joseph Lloyd Smith (1913-1975), a laborer at Republic Steel and also the photographer's great-great-uncle.
