Summary[edit]

Description
English: The Miller-Knepper House, 82 Northampton Street at Holland Place, Buffalo, New York, June 2020. An unusually exquisite example of the Queen Anne-style houses common in this section of the Cold Spring neighborhood, the eye is drawn here to the tripartite windows that serve as the centerpieces of both the front and east-side gables, interspersed with engaged columns and topped with round-arched fanlights with decorative shinglework and keystone voussoirs above. The turret at the southeast corner is comparatively modest, octagonal in shape and crowned by a tent roof. The house was built in 1894 for George F. Miller (1857-between 1915 and 1920), an attorney and real estate agent with the firm of Braunlein & Miller, who lived there until 1896 with his wife Anna, his son George (a saloon keeper on Genesee Street), and several of his Braunlein in-laws. After their departure, the house was sold to Harry Knepper (1867-1947), the titular "son" in the plumbing and gasfitting company of John H. Knepper and Son; he lived there until his death with his wife Caroline née Kibler (1869-1939) and, for a time, also his unmarried sister-in-law Adelaide Kibler (1871-1945). The house has since been divided into apartments.
