In 1886, real estate developer, Edward B. Smith commissioned Silsbee's Buffalo firm, Silsbee & Marling, to design at least two homes for sale on Linwood Avenue. This is one of them. For the next several years, Silsbee and his successor firm, Marling & Burdette continued work on the street for Smith as well as other individual clients. As it exists today, the street is a very fine collection of mid 1880's Shingle Style homes, epitomizing the style that Silsbee is commonly associated with.
