This list is just in its infancy and will become more sophisticated and more dense with information over time. The intent is to use it to focus attention and resources on buildings that need to be saved. Too often we only know about a potential loss when the bulldozers show up.Davis Steelehttp://www.buffbuildings.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10923291.post-41163926519682519382013-02-05T14:30:07.056-06:002013-02-05T14:30:07.056-06:00Ah, Someone beat me to McKinley.

How fast we can fall from the heights.<br /><br />Edward, Look me up on Face Book and I will hook you up with some good people and places in Buffalo. <br /><br />Also the book is still available in print as well as on the web.

I remember, years ago, before information flowed so freely, being in Buffalo and searching everywhere for it. I would not believe that anyone could have torn it down. <br />Growing up in Chicago, I liked Buffalo in the winter; it seemed the only city in America with weather more harsh than ours. <br />The Society of Architectural Historians will hold its annual conference this year in Buffalo, in April. Be there! Among other highlights I look forward to seeing Toshiko Mori's 2009 visitor pavilion at FLW's newly restored Darwin D. Martin house. Sublime x 2.
