Statler

Statler Building 2016

Straight out of the Roaring Twenties, comes Ellsworth Statler's grand hotel that crowned the Queen City at the beginning of the last century. Recently, the old place has had its ups and downs, but continues to hang in there even amidst calls to raze the once glorious digs. Too many fans in Buffalo and around the country will not stand for that disappointing end. If her sister hotel, 

The Hotel Pennsylvania is still kicking, then certainly this Statler can find a new thriving life in the Buffalo Renaissance.

Symphony Circle

Another resplendent autumn day in the Queen City. Our colors are finally starting to show. It is hard to find a more sublime perch to witness the shower of colorful leaves and brilliant sunshine than from a bench on Symphony Circle. Originally named "The Circle"in 1868, it was and is a link in our beloved Olmsted Parkway system. Surrounding the Circle are beautiful homes dating back to its inception as well as the restored Birge Mansion, Klienhan's Music Hall and The First Presbyterian Church of Buffalo. The church first used in1891 by the city's oldest religious congregation started in 1812. Due to the influence and popularity of the Buffalo Philharmonic, the Circle was renamed Symphony Circle in 1958.
