More Buffalo Picture information!
Flar: I found a guide magazine to Buffalo issued by the Buffalo Conventioners and Visitors Bureau that I had put away dated 1978 which I got on one of my first WNY trips.
The previous info I posted was strictly from memory-I even surprised myself on how much I remembered.
Mentioned in this info was the 1901 Pan-American Exposition which took place in Buffalo that year-and how great a year it was-also tragic because US President William McKinley was assassinated in Buffalo in September of that year-the McKinley Monument in Niagara Square honors his memory. #6-The Buffalo Savings Bank Building was constructed for it as well as the Electric Building-pics #9 and #57 left-was the centerpiece of that Exposition.
In pic #9 right is the Soldiers and Sailors Monument in Lafayette Square.
In pic#32 right I mistakenly identified the building with the twin Statues of Liberty as Liberty Insurance-it was the LIBERTY SAVINGS BANK building-there used to be a large sign with that on it that was between the twin Statues on top. Perhaps someone knows when they were removed.
I like the beer tap corner of the Pearl Street Grill and Brewery in pic #46.
#47,58-Buffalo had a classic Statler Hilton Hotel - Is it still a Hotel today?
#50-I decided to re-check my info for the Buffalo Central Terminal Preservation Group's web page - look here:
www.buffalocentralterminal.org/ for in-depth info on BCT's history and what the present and future may bring...
I will post more relevant info that I find on Buffalo in the future....
