English: The Seymour H. Knox, Jr. House, 57 Oakland Place, Buffalo, New York, August 2020. Wherein the Colonial Revival is represented to a T not only with a scrupulously symmetrical façade, but also with omnipresent fanlights, an architectural feature that's a defining hallmark of the style and which manifest themselves above the first-floor windows (crowned here with ornamental keystone voussoirs), on the large and lovely second-story Palladian window that dominates the façade with a wrought-iron balconet below, and on the trio of dormers in the attic. Unusually, the entrance is placed on the south (left) side of the house and not visible here; it's located under an Ionic portico topped with a broken pediment underneath an oculus window that's built into the side gable. Son of the retail magnate of the same name, Seymour Horace Knox, Jr. (1898-1990) was living with his widowed mother on Delaware Avenue at the time of his 1923 marriage to the former Helen Northrup; the house was a wedding present. Though his father had long since sold the discount store he'd founded to the F.W. Woolworth Company, the younger Knox carried forward the other family business, namely the Marine Trust Company (later Marine Midland Bank); it was he who oversaw the construction of their 38-story former corporate headquarters on lower Main Street, still the tallest skyscraper in downtown Buffalo. Knox sold the house in 1963; it remained in the hands of its subsequent owner, General Motors engineer James Barczak (1937-2015), until his death, and continues to be owned by the trust set up in his name.
