Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: The George Roos House, 143 Linwood Avenue, Buffalo, New York, July 2020. Built in 1887 and speculated but not proven to be a work of the local architectural firm of Green & Wicks, this spectacularly restored, two-and-a-half story cross-gabled Queen Anne is distinguished with ubiquitous Classical detailing: Corinthian columns and pilasters, engaged and otherwise, festoon its asymmetrical front portico, frame the second-floor bay window that's further decorated with wreath and ribbon festoons, and feature in the attic window on the large shingle-clad front gable facing Linwood Avenue. Prominent also is the dentilated raking cornice on said gable. A giant in the sprawling history of Buffalo's brewing industry, George Roos (1833-1898) took the eponymous brewery he inherited from his father Jacob in 1867 and grew it into the Iroquois Brewing Company, which would eventually become the largest of Buffalo's homegrown beermarkers (its plant on Pratt Street on the city's Near East Side attained a capacity of 600,000 barrels a year) and one of the last to shut down, in 1971. |
