English: The Jones-Henrich House, 26 Burke Drive, Buffalo, New York, December 2021. Though the gray sawtooth shingles seem out of place for an aesthetic in which exterior walls are more often faces in brick or stucco, this c. 1928-vintage home in Buffalo's Treehaven or Judges' Row neighborhood is otherwise representative of the Tudor Revival style that was all the rage at the time in the world of upper-middle-class residential architecture. Note the cross-gabled roof and the multiple gables on the façade, the latter enclosing a front entrance set off-center. Like many of the houses in the neighborhood, 26 Burke was designed with moneyed residents in mind, and thus, thanks to the not terribly fortuitous timing of its construction - on the eve of the Great Depression - it spent much of its early history either vacant or being passed between the hands of a revolving door of short-term owners. The house was built for road-building contractor Earl C. Jones (1887-1960), but he only lived there for three years. The 1932 and 1933 city directories list the address as vacant, after which time it became the home of Paul Henrich (1884-1968), a German-born real estate broker employed with Cleveland Hill Properties, who were in charge of developing and marketing this very neighborhood. Henrich stayed on until 1938.
