Few Buffalo houses became famous as quickly as the Wilcox residence, where Theodore Roosevelt took the oath of office in September 1901. President William McKinley had been shot at the Pan-American Exposition and died eight days later, and the family home became the setting for a sudden transfer of national power. This halftone, published in *Frank Leslie's Illustrated Newspaper*, shows the house as the press presented it, an ordinary residence now tied to one of the most abrupt presidential successions in American history.
