English: The Korris-Griffiths House, 883 Parkside Avenue, Buffalo, New York, June 2021. An unusual example of the Spanish Colonial Revival style of architecture (which itself is already fairly unusual in the Western New York area), this one-and-a-half-story stucco-clad residence features a double-gabled roof, the front-most one of which boasts a unique concave pitch and covers a semi-enclosed arcaded entrance terrace. A decorative semicircular wrought-iron balconet graces the small window underneath that gable. The house was built in 1926 and had a revolving door of owners in its earliest years: it was built for Russian-born tailor and clothing wholesaler Meyer Korris (1889-1962), but he only stayed for a year, and none of its subsequent residents over the next decade owned the place for more than three years at a time. A respite from the constant buying and selling process came in 1936 with Herbert A. Griffiths (1892-1965), who worked as a divisional management at Dunlop Tire and Rubber in Tonawanda and was also the older brother of noted prizefighter Johnny "The Akron Flash" Griffiths. He lived in the house from 1936 until roughly the mid-1940s.
