Assassinated Buffalo Columns Mckinley Oath Office Railings Roosevelt Theodore Wilcox 1901
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, circa 1904-1908, depicts the Ansley Wilcox Home in Buffalo, New York State, USA. The historic residence holds significant importance in American history as the site where Theodore Roosevelt took the Oath of Office on September 14, 1901, following the assassination of President McKinley. The grandeur of the Ansley Wilcox Home is evident in its ornate columns, ivy-covered walls, and intricately designed railings. The house, with its front facade adorned with trees and lush greenery, stands proudly on the pavement of a quiet Buffalo street. The image transports us back to the early 1900s, offering a glimpse into the past. President McKinley's sudden demise on September 14, 1901, due to an assassin's bullet, left the nation in shock. Vice President Theodore Roosevelt, who was in Buffalo for the Pan-American Exposition, was sworn in as the 26th President of the United States on the front porch of the Ansley Wilcox Home. This momentous event marked the beginning of Roosevelt's tenure, which would go down in history as one of the most dynamic and transformative presidencies in American history. The Ansley Wilcox Home, with its rich history and architectural beauty, stands as a testament to the past and serves as a reminder of the enduring significance of Buffalo in American history.
