English: The Seymour Knox House, 467 Linwood Avenue, Buffalo, New York, May 2020. With a rugged, ponderous stone foundation, a sprawling side gable (visible at right), and shingles serving as siding for the second and third stories, there's a pronounced Shingle-style influence to the overall Queen Anne-style design of the building. A porte-cochere at the south end of the property serves as an extension of the stylistically requisite ample porch, and the hexagonal turret is capped by a steep tent roof and pierced by one of the house's two chimneys. A native of Russell, St. Lawrence County, New York, Seymour Horace Knox (1861-1915) started on his path to success in 1884 with the five-and-ten-cent store he opened with his cousin Frank W. Woolworth in Reading, Pennsylvania. The ertswhile co-owner of "Woolworth & Knox" finally struck out on his own in 1890, with his eponymous Seymour H. Knox Company setting up shop in two locations in downtown Buffalo; soon enough, however, he reconciled with his cousin, merging the more than 100 stores he owned regionally in 1912 into the even larger Woolworth chain and becoming vice-president of the same. Prior to moving to Linwood Avenue, which he did c. 1894, Knox and his family lived for about four years in a Milton Beebe-designed house at 414 Porter Avenue; in 1904, the family moved to an Italian Renaissance-style residence on Delaware Avenue. The house remains privately owned today.
