English: The former South Side Bank of Buffalo, 2221 Seneca Street at Senca Parkside, Buffalo, New Yoek, June 2020. Designed by architect Harold Jewett Cook, the inspiration for the building was, in general, the so-called "jewel box" banks designed by Louis Sullivan and his contemporaries in the American Midwest, and more specifically, the Merchants National Bank of Winona, Minnesota. It's the only Sullivanesque bank building in Buffalo, wherein we see florid Art Nouveau-style terra cotta ornamentation applied to a Neoclassical substrate (notably, serving as ersatz capitals crowning the pilasters on the façade). The South Side Bank was founded in 1919 and moved its headquarters into the building seen here upon its completion two years later; it was absorbed by Liberty Bank in 1929 and continued to serve as a bank through the course of various subsequent mergers and acquisitions until 2006. It's now owned by Schneider Development and for lease as office space.
