Summary

Description
English: The Stevens-Warner House, 417 Linwood Avenue, Buffalo, New York, February 2022. Designed by the short-lived but prolific local architectural firm of Marling & Burdett, this two-and-a-half-story Shingle Style beauty was erected in 1888. The bilateral symmetry of the façade is unusual for the style, but the other distinguishing characteristics are fully in evidence here: low-slung, heavy and sprawling massing, a variety of exterior cladding incorporating brick on the lower floors and a mix of sawtooth and fish-scale shingles above, an enormous frontal gable (here flared at the bottom and interestingly divided into horizontal segments that each project above the one below). Frederick H. Stevens (1859-1931), co-owner of the Gard & Stevens tailor shop, was the original owner, but he didn't live there for long: by 1891, he and his wife Hattie had moved away and put the house up for sale. He later entered the railroad industry, and by the time of his death was better known as former chairman of the board of the American Locomotive Works. Subsequently, the house was purchased by Austrian-born real estate and insurance magnate Abram L. Warner (1860-1933), who lived there from c. 1892 until c. 1907.
