Summary edit

Description
English: The Seeberg Building, 113-125 Genesee Street at Oak Street, Buffalo, New York, January 2020. A sort of Frankenstein's Monster of adjacent buildings constructed at different times and later fused together, certain portions of the Seeberg Building (namely that at 123-125 Genesee, furthest left here) figure among the oldest remaining architecture in downtown Buffalo, dating to c. 1845, albeit heavily altered since then. That building's original owner was Henry Urban, an Alsatian immigrant who operated a grocery store with partner George Beyer; Henry's son George would later go on to prominance as a miller and landowner. The western (right) portion of the building dates to the 1850s and hosted a wide variety of commercial tenants (e.g. the shoe stores of Christoph Wagner and Charles P. Korn, John Grossman's tailor shop, John Armbruster's tinsmithery, and the John Mesnard confectionery). However, the building is by far best known as the home of H. Seeberg, Inc., a men's clothier that was opened by eponymous owner Harry Seeberg in Depew, moved to 119 Genesee Street in 1929, and expanded into the whole building and several adjacent ones before going out of business in 1980. After several decades of vacancy, it's now been subdivided once again and is home to a pair of restaurants.
