Summary

Description
English: Iron Island Museum, 998 East Lovejoy Street, Buffalo, New York, November 2020. Built in 1898 as an expansion of an earlier building dating to 1885, the building was the work of the architectural firm of Hand & Greenberg, who employ simplified Gothic Revival styling to the modest-scaled brick and frame structure; their design centers the façade on an enormous stained-glass window crowned by a compound Gothic arch. The window is boarded over currently but remains intact underneath, bedecked with geometric bar tracery. The entrance, seen in the background at right, is contained in the base of what was once a pyramidal-roofed tower. The building was originally home to the Lovejoy Methodist Episcopal Church, a mission church founded by Rev. T. E. Bell of St. Mark's Methodist Episcopal to serve the newly urbanizing Lovejoy neighborhood. The congregation folded in 1955, and the building served for the following decades as a funeral home: first as the independently operated Robert Wozniak Funeral Home and then as part of the Pacer and Amigone chains. Since 2000 it has been home of the Iron Island Museum, chronicling neighborhood history; local lore also claims the building is one of the most "haunted" sites in Buffalo, with "ghost tours" visiting the building frequently.
