In the 1930's, an attempt was made
to raise fund.a tor the preservatio~ of the house as a historical memorial
1 after the death o! Mr. and Mrs. Ansley Wilcox. This drive failed during I those depression yea.rs and the houae was subsequently used as a restaurant. When the restaurant was closed, interest in historic preservation was I renewed. In December 1961, Rep. Thaddeus Dulski (D.-Buf'falo) proposed the introduction of a bil1 to make the house a national historic shrine. I 'l'he move was opposed at first by the Secretary of the Interior on the I grounds tbat Roosevelt was al.ready sufficiently memorialized. In February 1963, BR-3500 was introduced by Rep. Dulski and a I subcommittee hearing was held in Buffalo in June. In September 1964, the house was threatened with immediate demolition and a civic committee I was formed to prevent this. On October 29, 1964, at the urging of the committee and especially its secretary, Mr. Owen B. Augspurger, the house I was purchased by the Liberty National Bank, to provide time for legislative I action. Considerable work of refurbishing and winterizing was performed by the community including interior cleaning, exterior painting, heating I and plumbing. In January and February 1965, bil1s were introduced in the House and I Senate which eventually led to the passage on February 7, 1966, of the I Bouse bil1 and on October 18, 1966, of a compromise bill by the House and Senate. The act was signed on November 2, 1966. I 1. ·I I I

I The proposed use of the structure will be to preserve the .Auley I Wilcox House and interpret the inauguration of Theodore Roosevelt as President of the United States here on September 14, 1901, the meaning of I the event to the nation a.nd the historic development of the site. The front part of the house on the first floor will be developed as a historic
I house museum, partially furnished and partially used as a visitor reception I and exhibit space. The remainder of the house will be available for lease to private organizations for activities compatible with the primary I "historic site" purpose. The house will be operated by the TheOdore Roosevelt Inaugural Site I Foundation Incorporated of Buffalo, New York under the provisions of the I legislation establishing the house as a historic site, P.L. 89-708, approved November 2, 1966 and a cooperative agreement between the National Park I Service and the Theodore Roosevelt Inaugural National Historic Site. The Foundation would administer the site using funds obtained from admissions, I private donations and local government grants. Certain managerial functions 1. would be performed by the Buffalo and Erie County Historical Society. The ·estimated cost of operation is approximately $50,000 per ~ear. I The estimated co~t of the proposed restoration and rehabilitation and visitor arrangements is $233,057. A detailed breakdown of the figure is I contained in Section 5.of this report. I 2. 1· I I III. HISTORICAL DATA SECTION On September 14, 1901 Theodore Roosevelt took the oath of office as I President of the United States in the library in the house of his friend l Ansley Wilcox at 641 Delaware Avenue, Buff~o, New York.
Ansley Wilcox, a prominent Buffalo lawyer, had lived here since 1884 2 I following his marriage on November 20, 1883 to Mary Grace Rumsey, member of a prominent Buffalo family, the use of the house being a wedding present I from her father, Dexter P. Rumsey. Wilcox in his career achieved prominence, not only locally but at the national level, as a pioneer in the development
I of social work and civil service reform. I The Wilcox residence was not a nev house at the time of' the marriage. It was built originally for officers' quarters, as a part of a military I complex known as Poinsett Barracks3, by the federal government in 1838 and occupied by the Army until 1845.
I In 1847 the building passed into private ownership and became the 4 I home ot Joseph G. Masten. What changes he made, if' any, are not known. Albert P. Laning acquired the house in 1863,5 and during his tenure I substantial changes were ma.de. Delaware Avenue was becoming a prime reaidential &treet. The original Poinsett Barracks property had extended
I eastward from Delaware to Main Street (now two blocks) with the main

Tilden is supposed to ~I have moved this portico to the west (Delaware Avenue) side, cut in the I center doorw~, built a basement and a one and a half or two-story serVice wiJJg on the east end, and put a :full baaement under the main part of the I house. Undoubtedly the principal. first floor rooms were re-trimmed accord1i11g to current fashion. Laning owned the house until 1881.8
I Frederick A. Bell acquired the hoWile, owning it only until 1883.9
During this sbort tenure it is doubtful that any changes were made. I 10 On November 20, 1883 Ansley Wilcox married Mary Grace Rumaey. On I November 27, 1883ll the deed to the property was registered with Mary Grace's father, Dexter P. Rumsey, being the new owner. Mr. and Mrs. I Wilcox moved iRto the house. The first change,12 on record, made by Mr. I Wilcox was the insta.1.lation of a b~ window in the first floor on the south side of the main portion of the building. This was designed in I 1892 by George Cary, a Buffa.lo architect.13 I 6/ Buffalo J?;Press, September 22, 1901. 7/ Ibid. I 8/. Buffalo Land Records, Deeds, Book 414, p. 450. 9/ Ibid.

George Cary, a member ot a family prominent in the deveJ.opment of western New York since the early l800's, graduated from Harvard in 188~4 ·1 an4 received a graduate degree in architecture from Columbia in 1886.15 16 Atter travela in Europe 8.Jld study.a~ L'Ecole des Beaux Art8 ia Paris, he returned to Buffalo to set up practice in 1892.17 I The original. design of the bay winc!l.ow shows a leaded glass, semi-domed reef to the bay. The bottom portioa is to~ as shOti?! on the original I drawing. Shortly after the b~ Window, Mr. Wilcox embarked on a much more ambitious building program With Cary as architect.18 He tripled the
I size of the original building by demoli&hing the Laning service wing and I adding approximately 60' of building to the east: basement, two floors and attic. The original old part of the house was left without changes19 save I for new ornameate4 glass panels in the Delaware Avenue entrance. '!'his work was evidently completed by the latter part of the 1890 's. A few other I chal'lges were made by the Wilcoxes who enJoyed their home lUltil their deaths 20 in the 1930's. I In 193821 Oliver Lawrence used the property to house his restaurant. I The :firat and second floors of the oldest part of the house had their I 14/ Ibid. 15/ Ibid. I 16/ Ibid. 17/ Ibid.

·1 The carriage house, north of the residence, was demolished, but part of ·1 the wall parallel with the reside~ce was incorporated in a small two-floor addition built at the northeast corner with Robert A. Hill as architect. I Perhaps tlle last change made was im the late 1940 's or early 1950 's when the wood doors and transom at the Delaware Avenue entrance were removed; I and new aluminum framed glass took their place. Mr. Lawrence purchased the property f'rom the Rumsey estate in 1947. 23 I I:ri 1961 the property was leased with option to purchase by Nathan I Benderson, a real estate speculator, with the idea of demolishing the building and replacing it with a cOllllercial building.24 !he impending, I possible fate ot tae landmark generated a storm of local protest, and in 1964 the property was purchased by the Liberty National Bank.25 Serious I effort was begun to assure the preservation of the landmark which culminated I in the passage by Congress of Public Lav 89-708 on November 2, 1966. 22/ Historic American Buildings Survey, Part II.

FU!Ua.SBim AND EXHIBITION DATA I Brtensive draw1.J188 a.ad a COD&iderable number of photographs are -1 available ia the Buffalo aad Erie County Historical Society collections which provide ample evidence for all reatoration contemplated. All ·1 investigation. of' the structure bears out the accuracy of tAe drawings and tbe photographs. In addition, persou who have visited the house I during the period of occupancy after 1901 have been in.tervieweci and I have supplied additional data on color of fabrics, tone ot woodwork, and geaeral color information not contained in black and white photoSl'aphs. I a. The house was lighted by gas &Dd heated by a combiution of firepl.aces and hot air gravity furnace. I b. 1'Ae library has a hardwood floor and clearly pictured in the I photographs are tAree oriental. rugs. Sillilar orientals are readily avail.able. I c. With the cooperation of' the Birge Wallpaper COJ1.P&111', the wall. coveri.Dgs have been identified.. Although the specific pattern of the paper I used bas not beea determined, interviews have provided some guidelire s and I representative patterns of the period will be selected and used. From the photographs and interviews, the drapery has been selected. A representative 1· wallpaper will be used in the hall and in the Morning Room. Wall coverings in the exhibit room will be of contemporary design. I d. No archeological evidence was uncovered regarding furnishings I as t.be other evidence is ample. e. The photographs in the Buffalo and Erie County Historical I Society and the detailed drawings of the house contained in the George Cary Muuscripts Collection in the Buffalo and Erie County Historical. I Society provide good documentation for the proposed restoration. George " 18. I Cary was the arcllitect who made extensive improvements in the· house for I the Wilcoxes. I f. The house was :f'urnished in the late Victorian style and that ., aura v1ll be preserved in the restoration, F.ssential to the interpretive story is the conveyance of the feeling of opulence--tbe Wilcox llome was that of a very wealthy and influential family. The :f'urnish1JJgS 1 therefore, I must reflect an atmosphere of luxury as enjoyed in the early twentieth I century. g. In the Visitor orientation Room, a combined slide, audio and I spotlighted artifact presentation lasting about l2 minutes will tell the story of the site, the inauguration and the importance of Roosevelt in I our Nation's history. Approximately 80 slides and six artif'acts will be I used in. the presentation for 20 to 40 persons at a time. h. The north parlor will be used as an exhibition room with I displB\YB reviewing the history of' the site and the house, the character of Ansley Wilcox, the Pan-American ~osition, the assassination of I President McKinley, the Inauguration and the developments resulting from I Roosevelt's ascendency to the presidency. i.

I.ANOOCAPE DATA AND ARCHEDLOGICAL FINDINGS ·1 The laadacaping of the Wilcox House in 1901 was very simple, as shown in photographs of the period. A low limestone retaining wall runs I parallel with the sidewa.lk alcmg Delaware Avenue. The grounda on this ·1 side of tae house were grass lawn, with large trees spaced at random on this lawn. Stone steps ascend a bank from the top of th11 wall, and at I the top of the bank a stone walk runs on axis to the two-story portico. This walk and steps remain and are in good condition. Historical I evidence provided by photographs taken in 1901 does not indicate the I presence of a tence. A drivt!!Way enters the property from Delware Avenue at the north end. I Stone bumpers, presently on the property but not in place, marked the passage of the drive through the retaining wall. A stone walk follows I the south side of the driveway to the aide entrance. From the street to I the retainimg wall line, the driveway is paved with rectangular cobblestones of granite {not a local stone). From this point the drivev~ is blacktop I paving that is approximately thirty years old. It is in poor condition. Archeological investigation revealed the existence of cobblestones from I the retaining wall to the demolished carriage house. I South of the driv~, ahead of the house, are individual shrubs which apparently are survivors of the Wilcox era. At the north and south I .ends of the west portico are wire· trellises supporting vines which are apparently Wilcax era relics. The five l.arge trees on the front lawn are I obviously survivors of Wilcox and pre-Wilcox da,ys. They are in need of trilllming. The evergreen foundation planting along the west portico are I post-Wilcox. I 20. I I VIII. COOT E3TIMATE I A. PROFE3SIONAL SERVIC.liS I l. Restoration $21,972 2.

Patch I Drawings illustrating Existing Conditions I Plans for Restoration Historica.1. Pl.ans (1890's), Architect George cary I I I I I I I I I I Interview With Mrs. Nathaniel K. B. Patch I 96 Richmond J1.venue, Buffalo, April 30, 1969 I Mrs. Patch was a friend of Mabel Wilcox, Analey Wilcox's sister. Her father, William H. Chapin, was Inspector ~eral of New York State. He -I traveled arour&d tbe state twice a year inspecting troops. He bad been ordered to Bu:ff'alo (where his family lived) to prepare and train an escort I tor President McJCinley during his visit to the Pan-American exhibition. I He was very apprehensive about the public reception for the President because the first day Mc.Kinley arrived at the exhibition, someone in the I crowd hissed him. Chapin refused to allow his wife and daughter to attend the reception. Mrs. Patch still has the tickets for the grandstand seats I that they never used. I The folloving is an account of what Mrs. Patch remem'bera of the day Roosevelt wu inaugurated. She was about 18, and she spent most of the I day outside tlle Wilcox house standing aear the sidewalk. on Delaware Avenue. She said no one knew tbat the inauguration was going to take place at the I Wilcox house so taere was no crowd. Only the escort soldiers of the signal I corps lined both sides of Delaware ill front of the house. Their uniforms were especially colorful., blue Jackets with gold braid over one shoul.der I and dark blue hats with bright red rosettes or tassels. Mr. Roosevelt bad breakfast With Auley Wil.cox. Mr. Chapin also was I · at the table. Roosevelt sat at one end w1 th his back to the windows, - -Mr. Wilcox, at the other end. After the meal, Roosevelt called Mr. Cha.pin I aside and told him he would call on Mrs. McJCinley before the inauguration I as p1ai.Jl Theodore Roosevelt, citizen, instead of as the Presideat. I 24. I I As Mr. Chapin .left the house and started down the steps, Roosevelt I opened the window and howled at him and shook his fist saying he bad told I him he didn't wut an escort. Roosevelt then left in a small, inconspicuous carriage tor the Milburn house. Be return~ shortly and wa1 ted in the I mol'Bing room (library). The cabinet called to say they were waiting for Roosevelt. He replied, "The President awaits his Cabiaet." Ber father I was present at the inauguration. Roosevelt allowed o1ll.y three reporters I from New York City in the house. Dr. Charles Cary was invited to attend. His wife was aot, but insisted on coming anyway. I Mrs. Patch remembers the library as being rather dull and simply furnished. She thought the I there was Just an open space above. She said the staircase curved at the I top. When she looked at the first p:botograph of the library she said she I bad a bookcase exactly like the one in the picture. It is in a second floor library and she refused to l.et me upstairs because of the terrible I · condition of the rooms. Apparentl.y this room is full of furniture and very difficult to move in. The spindle from the staircase is also buried I somewhere in the same roam. Two spindles have been made into candlesticks I 25. I I I and they are more available in the dining roan. These things, a.long with I a great deal of' furniture have been willed to the Historical Society. I She will have to be approached in a different manner and by possibly Mr. Bingham or Mr. Dunn if' we are to get them before she dies. I When she talked about the Ansley Wilcox's she mentioned that they were st&¥ing at their summer home on the lakeshore. Mrs. Wilcox bad to I rush back to her city home when they beard Roosevelt was coming and move many possessions back, too. Mr. Wilcox al.~s enjoyed young people and I encouraged them to visit his home. I Louise H. Eder I I I I I I I I I I 26.

The Pal.ladian · type window is also original. Three of the t'i ve pairs 01' bl.ind.a on the second fl.oor windows remain. ODly these t'ive windows were fitted with blinds during the historic period. The glass doors and transom on the front entrance date from the building's use as a restaurant. The period doors remain in storage in the basement.
