Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: The William C. Maltby House, 137 Depew Avenue at Starin Avenue, Buffalo, New York, August 2020. The Maltby House is an unusual manifestation of the Federal style, more typical of the early to mid-19th century, in a circa 1915 iteration: the tetrastyle Doric portico, rough-hewn façade of Onondaga limestone, the low-pitched hip roof flanked by twin chimneys, and (especially) the sunburst tympanum above the central window, redolent of a Georgian fanlight and crowned by a segmental-arched row of voussoirs would have struck the contemporary observer as anachronistic, doubtless an intentional effect by architect Max Beierl. Owner William Carson Maltby (1877-1944) got his start at the company his father founded - George W. Maltby and Sons, manufacturer and purveyor of marble and granite architectural elements - and had ascended to the role of president by the time he had this house was built for him, his wife Genevieve, and his family. The Maltbys lived there until 1935. |
