English: Built in 1922-1924, this Renaissance Revival-style eleven-story building was designed by Edward B. Green and Sons, and was the first of the still-extend buildings to be built along Niagara Square, replacing the old Stephen G. Austin house that had stood on the site since the 1830s, along with several other houses. This reflected the encroachment of governmental and commercial land uses from Downtown on the formerly predominantly residential Niagara Square, which resulted in Niagara Square becoming a major cultural and political center for the city by the 1930s, with the completion of two government buildings on the east side of the square and the massive Buffalo City Hall on the west side of the square. The building features a a red flemish bond brick exterior, an H-shaped tower rising from a three-story base, stone trim, low-slope roofs surrounded with parapets featuring stone balustrades, stone cladding at the base of the building, brick pilasters on the first floor and second floor, stone window trim, with pediments above some of the second-floor windows featuring cartouches, blind decorative arch panels above the entry doors with cartouches, stone juliet balconies on the two central windows of the two wings of the tower on the west facade, large arched recessed bays on the ninth, tenth, and eleventh floors flanked by quoins, with two windows per bay on the ninth and tenth floors and one window on the eleventh floor, stone belt coursing, and a copper cornice at the base of the upper parapet. The building no longer houses the Athletic Club of Buffalo, but instead has housed office space since the late 20th Century, with a restaurant and some retail space on the ground floor. However, the building was recently acquired by Goldwynn in 2021, which intends to convert the building into 48 market-rate apartments, with amenity space and commercial space in the lower levels of the building.
