English: The Wilson-Bixby-Moore House, 26 Lawrence Place, Buffalo, New York, June 2021. Though heavily modified from its original form, the design of this two-and-a-half-story, wood-frame, 1892-vintage home is ultimately creditable to Buffalo-based architect Charles Day Swan, who affords it a variation of his beloved Queen Anne style that bears a striking vertical orientation: the amply-sized frontal gable, de rigueur for the style, is taller than it is wide. Larger still is the side gable that's most prominent on the north elevation, whose front end partially encloses a modest-sized entrance terrace that's adorned with Doric pilasters. The house had a revolving door of owners in its early years: until 1895 it was Robert H. Wilson (1872-1928), a clerk with the wholesale dry goods company of Lepper, Wilson & Ellwood, then for the last five years of the 19th century it housed the young family of Frederick W. Bixby (1867-1936), a title searcher at the Erie County Guaranty Title Company who would much later rise to the post of vice-president of a successor firm, and thirdly travelling salesman Frederick W. Moore (1855-1928), who occupied the house for the five-year span between 1902 and '07.
