• One of our Masters of American Architecture docents, Janine, chose The Market Arcade as her building to highlight. Why This Building: I Love the Market Arcade building. It inspired me to stay at this fabulous hotel in Cleveland (Hyatt Arcade) recently...this is a national landmark dating to 1890 (Architect John Eisenmein and George Smith). Wow- it is like the Market arcade on steroids. Fast Facts: 🔹 Designed by Green & Wicks 🔹 Completed in 1892 🔹 Made of Terra cotta & Roman brick 🔹 Stands out bc its ornate Beaux-Arts details including of course a Bison at each entrance. 🔹 The Gallery Umberto I (1890) in Naples and The Burlington Arcade (1819) in London were suggested to the architects as models. 🔹 The building functioned as a cut-through from Main St. to the popular Washington St. Market. 🔹 Now owned by @sinatraandco and home to @cepagallery @buffalobarkery @queencitygallery @pbnsaves @rustbeltlove @bodybarbuffalo & more! #explorebuffalo #buffalony #wny #architecture

  • Thoughts for the week ahead. Be like the obelisk...Stand tall, be strong, reach high. (Clear eyes, full hearts, can’t lose). How many mantras is too many mantras? 🧐 More history, favorite buildings, & Buffalo scenes coming your way this week. #explorebuffalo #buffalony #wny

  • I do love the Midway Rowhouses on Delaware for their classic, old-world charm. They really remind me of Europe. And the historic houses on North Pearl, between Virginia & Allen in Allentown are just as captivating with their exquisite design and craftsmanship. - Susan Reeder, Development Coordinator 🙌 Fast Facts: 🔹 12 structures built on the former site of Cornell Lead Works between 1889-1895. 🔹 Stretch a full block from 471-499 Delaware Ave. 🔹 All designed by different architects in a variety of styles. 🔹 Apparently named The Midway because they were half-way between Niagara Square & Forest Lawn Cemetery 🔹 Rowhouses were common in major American coastal cities but Buffalo had more space to spread out and develop. The trend simply didn't catch on in Buffalo as it did in say Boston or NYC. Great choice Susan! #explorebuffalo #buffalony #wny #architecture #rowhouses
