English: The Frank Hower House, 23 Four Seasons Road West, Amherst, New York, July 2020. An unusual take on the Neoclassical style courtesy of an architect whose name has been lost to time, the cross-shaped floor plan features a projecting central portion on the façade flanked by a pair of ample side-gabled wings faced in stucco. Distinctive as well is the row of five identical elliptical fanlights crowning the French doors at the entrance as well as the two pairs of windows on either side, each topped with a decorative keystone. Much older than the neighboring houses in the so-called Cunningham-Fenway Subdivision, which mainly consist of Colonial Revival and Modernist residences dating from the third quarter of the 20th century, the house is a c. 1905 remnant of the rambling country estate that preceded the area's suburbanization: it was originally built for Buffalo oil magnate Franklin Benjamin Hower (1858-1932), who not only founded the Enterprise Oil Company but was also one of the area's most prominent early automobile enthusiasts, elected president of the Buffalo Automobile Club in 1908. The 17 acres of land on which the house sat were described in a Buffalo News article contemporaneous to Hower's death as "one of the show places of Western New York", and though the pastoral setting is gone, the house itself has designated by the Town of Amherst's Historic Preservation Commission as a heritage property.
