Buildings and Sites

Buffalo has great architecture.  You do not need to take our word for it--two generations of New York Times architecture critics have written glowing articles.  Ada Louise Huxtable's 1977 article and Nicolai Ouroussoff's New York Times November 14th, 2008 article include more than a dozen stunning photos of Buffalo.

Fortunately, Buffalo's architecture and history have probably the best Web documentation of any city in the world, particularly at these sites: Buffalo Architecture and History, Buffalo Landmarks and Historic Districts and Styles of Architecture in Buffalo.  

To explore Buffalo's downtown architecture, you should take our Queen City Walking Tour.  We also have audio tours.  You can also visit interpretive markers placed at key locations downtown--or look at them here--Landmark Signage Project.  Or, tour downtown with the Walk Buffalo Tour Book.

On May 1st, 2010, PBN members and Buffalo Tours will hold a special event by touring The Electric Tower at 535 Washington Street.

Our predecessor organization created this "Buffalo's Best" Series.

Buffalo and its region also has a significant number of historic sites that are open to the public.

Our web page on the Buffalo Preservation Board provides links to maps of Buffalo's National Register and locally-designated historic districts and information about the Board.
