The Mary Ann Jones House, 351 Linwood Avenue, Buffalo, New York, August 2020. The requisite façadal asymmetry of the Queen Anne style manifests itself solely on the ground floor of this two-and-a-half-story, ivy-covered brick residence, where a central wrought-iron entrance portico is flanked on the right by an ample, shingle-sided bay window and on the left by a much more modest sash window. The styling is even more restrained on the upper stories, where you see a rather steeply-pitched hip roof pierced by twin dormers, brick quoins flanking the front corners of the building, and a nifty frieze of diamond-shaped decorative brickwork just below the roofline. The house dates to 1898 and first served as the home of Mary Ann Jones (1836-1904), the widow of Albert Jones (1835-1890), who'd been a partner in the printing firm of Baker, Jones &amp; Smith; she lived there until her death, and her unmarried daughter Jennie (1867-1937) continued living there until 1907, when she sold it to its second owner, John D. Larkin, Jr. (1877-1945), the assistant treasurer of (and son of the founder of) the famous <a href="//commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Larkin_Company" title="Category:Larkin Company">Larkin Soap Company</a>, who remained there for five years. The building has since been divided into apartments.
