Summary[edit]

Description
English: Built in 1895, this Classical Revival-style house was designed by Edward B. Green and William S. Wicks for Henry and Fanny Birge, whom owned the Birge Wallpaper Co. The house became the home of Katharine Pratt Horton in 1906, whom bought the house in 1920 and lived there until her death in 1931, giving the house to the Buffalo Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution, whom have maintained the house much as it was when she lived there. The house features a red flemish bond brick facade, three-over-one double-hung windows, decorative stone lintels and stone sills, a bracketed cornice with dentils, a low-slope roof, second-story windows with decorative blind arched panels with festoons and decorative trim above, decorative balustrades below the second-story windows, a stone base, quoins at edges of the first floor, a semi-circular one-story portico with ionic columns and cast iron railings, and a double front entry door. The house is one of several late 19th Century townhouses in the Midway Row Houses on Delaware Avenue, which sit about midway between Erie Square in Downtown Buffalo and Gates Circle. The Midway Row Houses are contributing structures in the Allentown Historic District, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.
