The gable front and wing variation appears to be the most prominent. The narrow front- \n gabled variant would have accommodated the narrow but long parcels along Williamsville’s \n Main Street. Several of these examples were originally constructed as residential buildings, and \n later converted to commercial use, although there are a few examples being used for industrial or \n manufacturing buildings on Main Street. Early examples from the early 1800s were wood frame \n construction, while many examples from the 1840s and 50s were built of brick as it became more \n widely available in Williamsville. One of the key identifying traits of this style is usually a front- \n gabled massing with a two-bay or three-bay fenestration pattern.
