English: The Carlton G. Wagner House, 9 Eldon Road, Buffalo, New York, May 2022. Built in 1940, the Wagner House is an example of so-called "Minimal Traditional" architecture: a term used retroactively for the small, economical, and mass-producible single-family homes that, during the roughly 25-year period centered on the Second World War, were commonly built (often with the help of Federal Housing Administration-insured loans) in America's newly developing suburbs. Aesthetically speaking, these homes typically consisted of simplified and stripped-down versions of the period-revival styles popular contemporaneously in upper-class residential architecture. Tudor Revival was the predominant influence in the Buffalo area, but also common were Colonial Revival Minimal Traditionals, an aesthetic attested here by its side-gabled roof, symmetrical brick-veneer façade, small-paned eight-over-eight sash windows, and simplified Classical detailing (note the pediments crowning the dormers and the Doric pilaster strips and engaged architrave framing the front entrance). A music teacher at Kensington High School and choir director at First Methodist Church, Carlton George Wagner (1906-1990) lived in the house from its completion until just a couple years before his death.
