English: Occupying the east side of Delaware Avenue from Virginia Street northward about halfway to the corner of Allen Street and built on the former site of the Cornell Lead Works, the "Midway" is one of the relatively few examples in Buffalo of brick row houses of the type commonly seen in East Coast cities such as New York, Boston, and Philadelphia. Unlike most such blocks of row houses, each building on the Midway sports an individual design in a variety of styles and by a variety of different architects, among whom figure some of Buffalo's most eminent at the time. From left to right starting with the building with the long royal blue awning, which is the first one whose distinct features are easily visible in this photo: the Hall-Wright-Bass House (483 Delaware, 1893, Marling & Johnson); the Dr. Bernard Bartow House (481 Delaware, 1894, Marling & Johnson); the Harlow C. Curtiss House (479 Delaware, 1894, Marling & Johnson); the Birge-Horton House (477 Delaware, 1895, Green & Wicks); the John Strootman House (475 Delaware, 1893, architect unknown); and finally the Dr. Ernest Wende House (473 Delaware, 1892, George Cary). Until its demolition in 1977, the Dr. Floyd Crego House stood at 469 Delaware, directly on the corner of Virginia Street to the right of the buildings viewed here.
