Summary

Description
English: The Crane-Fassett House, 420 Linwood Avenue, Buffalo, New York, January 2020. Elements of the Shingle style of residential architecture seen on the house include a dramatic sloping roof pierced by a massive turret with an unusual candle-snuffer roof, a Palladian window in the roof gable, and, of course, cladding in brown shingles covering the entire exterior. The north side of the building features a porte-cochère leading to a secluded but elaborate carriage house at the rear of the property, not seen here. Built in 1884, the design of the house is traditionally attributed to Joseph Lyman Silsbee, though an alternative claim holds it to be a collaborative effort between Silsbee's ex-partner James Marling and the latter's protégé, Herbert Burdett. Henry A. Crane (1849-1894) was a lumber dealer with the firm of A. M. Dodge & Co. in Tonawanda; not surprisingly, the fine woodwork used throughout the house's interior was his handiwork. The house's next occupant, Theodore Fassett (1848-1908), was also a lumberman, senior partner of a firm that was headquartered in North Tonawanda. In subsequent years, architect James Johnson executed some changes to the design of the house; most notably the enclosure of the southern portion of what was once a wraparound veranda, thus creating the front room visible here at left.
