English: As seen in May 2021: the building at 860 William Street (corner Fillmore Avenue) in Buffalo, New York is an excellent surviving example of the traditional corner bar, a staple presence in the Buffalo of years past and especially so in working-class districts such as the East Side's Polish enclave. The recessed corner entrance flanked by floor-to-ceiling display windows, residential space on the second floor, and smaller "telescoping" additions to the rear of the building - meant to house younger children in the famously large families of Buffalo's immigrant communities - are all textbook East Side architectural scenery that's getting harder and harder to find nowadays as disinvestment and demolition continues apace. This is also one of the oldest extant buildings in this part of town: it was built in 1883 to house the grocery store owned by Alsatian-born immigrant Martin Caspar (1852-1928), but even in those early days Caspar was doing a brisk side business operating a saloon out of part of the building. Caspar retired in 1913, and the building has served as home to a number of businesses since then, again generally in the category of restaurants or taverns: among its subsequent owners was the photographer's great-great-uncle Emil Jurewicz, who operated his eponymous tavern here from 1941 until his death in 1972. The building is now vacant.
