65 Niagara Square (at Niagara Street) Buffalo, NY 14201 United States +1 716 851 4200 http://www.ci.buffalo.ny.us |
A classic example of Art Deco architectural design, this building ranks as an early 20th-century Americanesque masterpiece and has been considered an enduring symbol of Buffalo's genius and spirit since it was designed in 1929 by John J. Wade. Located in the center of downtown and overlooking Buffalo's main public square, the 28-story building boasts Native American-influenced tile details, friezes showing aspects of city life, and a top-floor observation tower with views of Lake Erie and the city.

Historic landmark |
28 Church Street (At Pearl Street) Buffalo, NY 14202 United States +1 716 854 0003 |
World-renowned for being one of the first true "skyscrapers," because of the use of a full steel frame, this building was the design of famous American architect Louis Sullivan, and opened in 1895. The terra-cotta facade is very ornate, featuring geometric designs as well as foliage. Inside, the original lobby skylights and tile mosaics remain intact. Saved from the wrecking ball in the 1980s by local citizens, this beautiful edifice is also known locally by the name it bore for much of its earlier life: the Prudential Building.

Once a luxury hotel |
107 Delaware Avenue (At Niagara Square) Buffalo, NY 12402 United States +1 716 856 5000 |
This busy office tower, sitting on the former site of President Millard Fillmore's residence, was originally a hotel, built in 1921 by local innkeeper Ellsworth Statler. Statler hotels offered amenities to the common traveler that had previously been available only to the more well-to-do, as evidenced by his 1920s slogan: 'A room with a bath for a dollar and a half'. The building was part of the Hilton chain for much of its existence, and the ornate lobby and public spaces remain intact. It's definitely worth a walk-through. Review © 2007, Wcities |
