Then and Now

Grain League Federation elevator and silos in decline on Buffalo River/ Library of Congress


Spruced up silos/ dock at Tewksbury Lodge/ RiverWorks
Still down by the river. We found this photo of the GLF Silos off Granson Street taken somewhere between glory days and complete neglect. From Riverfest Park, you can see a Buffalo River reborn, in use and enjoyed. The effects on the Old First Ward are undeniably good. People that have never seen this side of Buffalo and those that haven't been back in years are down here and active. The spirit of people who never gave up in the old neighborhood and those that believed in the value of history preserved, will hopefully continue to spur on revitalizations around the city.
