DescriptionRohlfs House, Buffalo, New York - 20200201.jpg
English: The Charles Rohlfs House, 156 Park Street, Buffalo, New York, February 2020. This intriguing Craftsman-style residence is practically unique in Buffalo with respect to form, with a stucco façade dominated by sleek, straight, simple lines, an unusual wide-gabled, asymmetrical roofline, and a row of round-arched windows on the second floor at left making for an interesting contrast to the eight-light leaded-glass sash windows you see elsewhere. It's a 1912 work of the local firm of Colson & Hudson. Charles Rohlfs (1853-1936) was a stage actor-turned-world-famous furniture designer whose work was typified by a more exquisitely ornamented version of the Arts & Crafts style than is seen in the architecture of his house; Rohlfs' work borrowed from a grab bag of other stylistic influences such as Chinese, Medieval and Art Nouveau, and was so well reputted as to earn him a fellowship at the Royal Society of Arts in London and a commission to provide a set of chairs for Buckingham Palace. Even more famous than Rohlfs was his wife Anna Katharine Green (1846-1935), pioneering writer of detective novels.
