Summary edit
| Description |
English: The Dr. Isaac Funk House, 6-8 The Boulevard (corner Deems Avenue), in the Westerleigh section of Staten Island, New York, September 2020. The Queen Anne style is not well represented among the works of Buffalo-based architect John Hopper Coxhead (working here as the junior partner in the firm of Carlin & Coxhead), and with the Funk House he employs a freewheeling adaptation of the aesthetic that, indeed, breaks one of the style's cardinal rules in presenting a symmetrical façade. The ground floor presents a pair of bay windows flanking a central double door, all of which are tucked behind a shed-roofed, balustraded Tuscan portico, while the upper stories consist of a trio of rounded projections: a magnificent leaded-glass solarium in the center flanked by a pair of turretlike constructs bedecked with stained-glass windows and topped with gabled roofs with Palladian windows. A native of Ohio, Dr. Isaac Kaufmann Funk (1839-1912) started out as a Lutheran pastor but moved quickly into the world of publishing; his namesake firm of I.K. Funk & Company dealt mainly in religious periodicals at first, but is most famous as publisher of the Standard Dictionary of the English Language and Funk & Wagnalls Standard Encyclopedia. The house was built in 1893, but Funk is recorded as having moved to Brooklyn by 1898. It's currently divided into apartments. |
