Look Inside One Of Buffalo’s Most Expensive Mansions [PHOTOS]

If you drive around just about any neighborhood in Western New York, you will find clues to the amazing past that this region has. From the direct access we have to one of the largest bodies of fresh water to the great food and the fantastic architecture, Buffalo really is an excellent place to work, live, and play.

It's sometimes easy to take it for granted that so much of this region was developed by some of the greatest names in the world of design and development. You don't need to go very far to find something that was built or designed by people like Frederick Law Olmsted, Calvert Vaux, Frank Lloyd Wright, Louis Sullivan, Louise Blanchard Bethune, H.H. Richardson, Eliel and Eero Saarinen, Elbert Hubbard, and more.

That's no more apparent than if you were to take a drive down Millionaires Row on Delaware Avenue in Buffalo.

Peek Inside Grace Knox Mansion In Buffalo

There was a time in Buffalo's history when we had more millionaires per capita than any other city in the United States. Many of the biggest names in America lived on Delaware Avenue from downtown Buffalo to what became Gates Circle.

From Charles Goodyear and the Goodyear family to Harlow Curtiss and the Curtiss family, most of them lived within a mile of each other in the city. That includes the family who built what would be considered the most expensive house ever built in Buffalo, the Grace Millard Knox house at 800 Delaware Ave.

The wife of Seymour H. Knox and mother of Seymour H. Knox II, Grace Millard Knox, kept meticulous records as she stewarded the $1 million construction of this beautiful 25,000 square foot home for her and her children just weeks after her husband died in 1915.

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics CPI Index, the $1 million price tag back in 1915 is worth more than $31 million in today's dollars.
