Summary
editDescriptionMahoney State Office Building, Court Street and Niagara Square, Buffalo, NY.jpg |
English: Built in 1928-1932, this Stripped Classical Revival-style building was designed by Edward B. Green and Sons and Albert Hart Hopkins to serve as a state office building, standing on the site of the old Buffalo Central High School, which operated at the site between 1854 and 1914. The old Central High School building was briefly used as a hospital during the 1918 Spanish Flu Pandemic, with many of the 2,500 deaths due to the flu in Buffalo occurring at the building, which was torn down in 1926 to make way for the present structure. The building was named for Walter J. Mahoney in 1982, whom served as a representative for the Buffalo region in the state legislature for three decades, and later became a state supreme court judge. The building’s cornerstone was, notably, laid by Franklin Delano Roosevelt, who was, at the time, the Governor of New York. The building features a five-story rectilinear office block to the south along Court Street, with a shorter and smaller two-story wing with chamfered corners to the rear, and is clad in limestone. The front wing features with rustication at the base, decorative window and door trim with keystones on the first floor, a decorative metal grille surround at the recessed front entrance door, and relief panels between window openings on the first floor, with small, unadorned window openings on the second floor, and recessed window bays with large Chicago-style windows on the third, fourth, and fifth floors, flanked by fluted pilasters, and with metal spandrel panels, with the top of the building featuring decorative belt coursing around the parapet that encloses a low-slope roof. The rear wing is less ornate, with simpler trim around the windows, unadorned second-story windows, a simple parapet enclosing a low-slope roof, and two projecting entry vestibules on the east and west flanks of the wing, which feature entry doors with transoms that have stone screens with a roman lattice motif. The well-preserved lobby features decorative trim, a ceiling with decorative beams, ornate Art Deco-style chandeliers, murals, stone wall cladding, pilasters, and columns, and stone and terrazzo floors. The building continues to house offices for the State of New York, and was built contemporaneously with Buffalo City Hall, solidifying the area’s status as a major cultural and governmental center for the city. The building was sold by the State of New York to private ownership in 2021, and is slated for adaptive reuse. |
