Summary
[edit]DescriptionRoosevelt Plaza, Buffalo, NY - 52686143708.jpg |
English: On the left, built between 1899 and 1901, this Beaux Arts-style building was designed by Edward B. Green and William S. Wicks to house the Buffalo Savings Bank. The building originally consisted of only the section with the dome at the corner and the first of two large bays to the rear along the angled Genesee Street, and did not feature gilding on the dome that crowns the building. The building was expanded in 1931 under the direction of Edward B. Green to the east along Genesee Street, adding another large bay and being fully continuous with the original building, with another addition to the north along Main Street in 1941, which is plainer than the rest of the building’s exterior and only matches the rest of the building in cladding material and the cornice. Further additions were made to the building, first in 1953, when the dome was gilded, then in 1955, additional offices, since removed, were built on the roof of the east wing and along Washington Street to the north of the building, featuring a Classical Revival facade, and in 1967, a six-story modernist office wing was added north of the still-extant building, all of which were indicative of the massive growth of the bank over that time. This section is an educated guess based on stylistic trends of the 20th Century, as architecture generally became more streamlined over time. Additionally, old photos and plans only show the building being the southwest corner of the current structure, and it is documented that additions happened in these specific years, but which parts of the building were added are not well-described by any source. In 1982-1983, a large postmodern office addition was built to the north, designed by Kohn Pedersen Fox, with the 1967 addition being removed to add a plaza, and the 1955 addition being removed for a new wing that connects the new tower with the old structure. The north facade of the 1941 addition was left exposed, and ended up being clad in granite panels, having an arched window added, and granite and fiberglass corinthian pilasters added to match the other facade of this addition. The addition was also removed from the roof around this time, and the historic building’s exterior was mostly restored to its circa 1941 appearance. The Buffalo Savings Bank rebranded itself as Goldome in 1983, upon the completion of the addition, but ended up folding less than a decade later in 1991 due to the Savings and Loan crisis of the 1980s. The assets of Goldome were split between Key Bank and First Empire (now M&T Bank), and the buildings were bought by M&T Bank, with the complex becoming known as M&T Center... |
