The 32-story City Hall was dedicated in 1932. The Art Deco building with its ornamentation and geometric patterns is a great sight. Unfortunately, I visited on a Saturday and we all know municipal buildings are closed then and thus the observation tower was unavailable. Who remembered from American History that both Presidents Grover Cleveland and Millard Fillmore hailed from Buffalo? And that William McKinley was assassinated there. One could spend much time recognizing the symbolism of pioneers, Indians and Greek figures. I just wondered where they found Art Deco window air conditioning units.

What a fabulous building! Wish you'd been able to tour it. Look at the HABS drawings and photos of it (follow the link from your link).
