Category:Buffalo doubles

Also known as "two-flats"; a type of two-family, industrial-vernacular dwelling that's a common element of the housing stock in the Buffalo, New York area. Buffalo doubles exemplify the forward march of construction technology of the era in which they were built (c. 1890s-1920s), and particularly the then-new technique of "balloon framing". This method of wall construction, using long continuous framing members ("studs") to which flooring elements are appended, opened the door for large wall elements to be essentially mass-produced in a central factory, transported to the site, and assembled like puzzle pieces, making for a much faster construction process while still maintaining decent structural quality. A side effect of this was a relative uniformity in house design, with simplified versions of popular styles of the time - Queen Anne initially; Colonial, Craftsman, and American Foursquare variations would appear later - appearing side by side in essentially identical iterations.
