Summary
[edit]DescriptionSpencer Kingsley House, Buffalo, New York - 20220128.jpg |
English: The Spencer Kingsley House, 368 Linwood Avenue, Buffalo, New York, January 2022. Built in 1890 and a contributing property to the locally-listed and NRHP-eligible Linwood Historic District, this spaciously proportioned Shingle Style home was designed by the locally-based architectural firm of Marling & Burdett and contains almost all of the requisite features of the aesthetic in its design: asymmetrical façade; heavy, low-to-the-ground and sprawling massing, a squat tent-roofed tower on the corner of the façade, the front porch is wide and ample, and, of course, a great portion of the exterior is faced with rough-textured wooden shingles (though some have since been replaced with clapboard). By contrast, the enormous gables on the front or side, which are more typical of the style, are eschewed here in favor of a steeply-pitched hip roof, with a large gabled dormer in the center of the façade making for a rather paltry substitute. Spencer S. Kingsley (1849-1932) began his career as a merchant, serving in various positions with the C. E. Walbridge hardware company and co-owning a stationery store at the Richmond Hotel, but was better known as a real estate magnate, a pursuit that he began as a side hustle in 1865 but which became his full-time career two years later when a fire destroyed his store. As a realtor, Kingsley's clients were diverse: he was responsible not only for selling homes to some of the most prominent names in Buffalo at the time, such as attorney and future U.S. President Grover Cleveland and railroad executive Chauncey Depew, but also secured building sites for commercial and industrial concerns, such as Dunlop Tire and Rubber, whose local plant is on River Road in the nearby town of Tonawanda. At the time his Linwood Avenue home was built, he had just partnered with Russell H. Potter to found Kingsley & Potter Real Estate; he remained there until early 1908, when a fall on an icy sidewalk led consecutively to severe injury, neglect of his business affairs, and finally financial insolvency which forced the sale of the house. |
