Step into the grandeur of turn-of-the-century Buffalo on this downtown walking tour, where richly detailed facades and spectacular interiors reveal Buffalo’s rise as one of America’s great commercial centers. At the dawn of the twentieth century—when Buffalo ranked among the nation’s largest cities and welcomed visitors from around the world—prominent local firms such as Green & Wicks and Esenwein & Johnson shaped a downtown defined by elegance, ambition, and artistic craftsmanship.
Along the way, you’ll experience dramatic architecture up close with visits inside historic spaces such as the Goldome Bank and Electric Tower, while the intricate details of lesser-known downtown gems will reward curious explorers. You’ll see how thoughtful restoration has brought new life to historic buildings like the Curtiss Hotel. Together, the buildings on this tour create a vivid story of the enduring beauty of downtown Buffalo’s historic buildings.
This tour is approximately 1.2 miles of walking.
For those interested in also attending the tour of the Buffalo and Erie County Public Library’s Rare Book Room at 2:30, fear not! This walking tour takes place in the same vicinity as the Public Library and we will be sure to direct those interested in attending the Library’s Rare Book Room tour to that venue at the end of this tour.
Getting There: This tour will commence from the lobby of the conference hotel, the Buffalo Hyatt Regency, at 1PM.
