Summary

[edit]
Description
English: The Stratford Arms Apartments, 25 West Utica Street, Buffalo, New York, August 2020. The stripped-down Tudor Revival style of this imposing and very long four-story apartment building was been variously in a 2011 Buffalo Rising write-up as "a type of simplified historicism that was popular at the time" of its construction, as "an early form of branding... as its name and architecture referenced each other", and "an unspectacular building but is a pleasant piece of the street fabric". Notable are the Tudor-arched double entrance as well as the lancet windows in the gables, framed by Gibbs surrounds. Erected in 1926 from a design by Detroit-based architect Charles N. Agree, the building began its life as the Stratford Arms Hotel; at first luxurious, it had degenerated into a flophouse by the 1980s and was abandoned outright after a fire in the latter part of that decade. It was saved from demolition and reinaugurated in 1991 by the Western New York Veterans Housing Coalition as an affordable housing development for disabled and low-income military veterans.
