Summary

[edit]
Description
English: The Holmes-Haenlein House at 878 Elmwood Avenue, Buffalo, New York, as seen in June 2020. A good representative example of the Queen Anne style that was in vogue at the time of its construction (c. 1898), the house sports a steeply pitched hipped roof, a three-quarter-width porch supported by wooden Tuscan columns, and - most prominently - a large turret on the southern side of the façade, with a conical roof and an exquisitely ornate dormer window. The house has had a steady stream of different residents over the years: the first was Frederick A. Holmes, secretary of the Barber Asphalt Paving Company, about whom little information is available; then from 1900 through 1909 it served as home to brothers Abraham, Henry, and Isaac Haenlein, owners of a wholesale clothing business. Citing poor repair, owner Ellicott Development filed for a demolition permit in 2020, seeking to combine the lot with the adjacent one to its north, which is vacant, and erect a new building there; local preservationists objected, but the house was demolished the following November.
