English: As seen in October 2022: the three-story brick building at 1067 Grant Street (corner of Military Road) in Buffalo, New York has been known by several names over the course of its history, but was originally called the Ansteth Flats. One of the first large buildings of its type to be constructed in the eastern portion of the Black Rock section of the city, it dates to 1897 and sports an interesting mix of several contemporaneously popular architectural styles: the Romanesque Revival is suggested by the round arches above the entrances and the roofline with its modillion cornice and dentil row; the upper-story windows with their segmental arches, keystones, and Gibbs surrounds signify the Renaissance Revival, and a Gothic or Tudor influence is brought to the table courtesy of the interesting and unusual crenellations above the two-story projecting bay windows. The building was owned by and named for John M. Ansteth, a prominent Black Rock merchant who leased the ground-floor space to a variety of retail tenants (including his own eponymous boot, shoe, and dry goods store) and the upper floors as apartments. Notably, just a few years after its completion the building's interior was reconfigured in preparation for the planned Pan-American Exposition and spent most of 1901 operating temporarily as a hotel, the similarly named Hotel Ansteth. However, the building later reverted to its original usage and was long notable for the low turnover among its retail tenants, a succession of neighborhood businesses that over the years included the Soverhill & Willett hardware store (in business at the Ansteth from 1902-1916), C. F. Walters Drugstore (1905-late 1960s; known as Walters & Son for the first few years of its run in the furthest-left storefront), Nicholas Saemenes' deli and ice cream parlor (1915-1951; this may have been a branch location of Elite Confectionery, a small local chain operated by his father and brothers), Koren's Department Store (1925-1960), and a branch of the local grocery chain Danahy-Faxon (late 1920s-late 1940s). However, by the 1970s, occupancy in the retail space had begun steadily diminishing, and the building overall had become quite dilapidated. 1986 saw the city government tap into the New York State Housing Trust Fund for a thorough renovation of the building into affordable apartments, an identity it retains today.
