Summary[edit]

Description
English: The Orchard Park Municipal Center, 4295 South Buffalo Street, Orchard Park, New York, December 2020. Respectively, the two wings of the building house the town and village offices (left) and the police department (right) and were built in 1949 as separate structures; an expansion in 1990 (center) served to connect the two and also added additional space in the rear. The original portions of the building, designed by the firm of Hudson & Hudson, exemplify the Colonial Revival style of architecture, which at that time retained a great deal of popularity in designs for government, school, and other institutional buildings, even as it had already passed out of favor in the arena of residential architecture. Both of the designs include classic Colonial hallmarks such as symmetrical façades and side-gabled roofs each with a central copper-topped cupola, but they differ from each other in the fine details. The more elaborate town hall portion sports a pedimented entrance, ornamental twin chimneys on the side elevations adjacent to the peak of the roof, and a contrast between the windows on the ground floor (round-arched and topped consecutively with fanlights and decorative keystones) and the second floor (rectangular and topped with stone lintels), with stone belt courses delineating the boundaries between floors. Meanwhile, the single-story and more modestly designed police station has a segmental-arched entrance with a golden eagle adorning the tympanum.
