Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: The former Police Station No. 7, 294 Louisiana Street at Miami Street, Buffalo, New York, January 2021. Built in 1954, this building was one of three identical police stations designed contemporaneously by the firm of Duane Lyman & Associates (the others are found on Michigan Avenue on the Near East Side and on Bailey Avenue in the Lovejoy district). Modernist in design, the horizontal orientation of this low-slung edifice is emphasized by the division of the façade into three layers of different-colored brick, with decorative masonry work in geometric designs flanking the windows in the center layer. The entrance is framed by a pair of stout concrete pillars etched with recessed grooves flush with the top of the door and the bottoms of the windows. The building served as home to the Buffalo Police Department's 7th Precinct until 1994 - when a consolidation program saw the Old First Ward area fall under the aegis of the department's new District A, with a station house on South Park Avenue - but continued to be used as a municipal storage facility until 2017. It's now vacant and being marketed for sale by the city. |
