this is one of the most architectural a
stunning cities in America hi I’m
Rebecca Brayton and welcome to
watchmojo.com and today we’ll be
learning about the architectural history
of Buffalo New York it is easy to call
Buffalo itself a museum for American
architecture as the city highlights the
best efforts to come out of that school
in the late nineteenth and early
twentieth centuries Buffalo features
some of the most striking examples of
design by the country’s most notable
architects it is also one of the first
US cities to have nurtured an
experimental style that broke from the
European aesthetic this city is also
impressive due to its parks and urban
planning while many American cities have
been raised to make way for new and more
modern cities Buffalo retains its unique
aesthetic one example of innovative
architecture found in Buffalo is the
Ellicott square building when it was
completed in 1896 it was the largest
office building in the world for 16
years today it’s it’s regally at the
corner of Main and church streets
roughly a block away from another
architectural triumphs the guaranty
building with its two hundred and forty
four foot tall tower the old post office
was the tallest building in Buffalo
between 1901 and 1912 this extraordinary
building combines a number of different
architectural styles built using costly
vermont pink granite st. Paul’s
Cathedral is considered a US National
Historic Landmark and has been since
1987 originally completed in 1851 the
building showcases Gothic Revival style
of architecture and is unique in that it
does not follow the traditional
cruciform shape of many churches built
at the end of the 1930s the Kleinhans
music hall is now the residents of the
buffalo philharmonic orchestra the
smooth clean sweeping lines of the
building evoke the image of a musical
instrument inside the building is
acoustically outstanding though somewhat
simple in its design sometimes
overlooked as a tourist attraction
Buffalo is definitely worth a visit for
its architectural
alone
