Buffalo’s Architectural Treasures
| Buffalo's Architectural Treasures explores the city The New York Times has called "a textbook for a course in modern American buildings" and The Atlanta Journal-Constitution "a vast outdoor museum." Hosted by Tim Tielman, Executive Director of the Campaign for Greater Buffalo History, Architecture and Culture, the video documents Buffalo's history as the quintessential 19th century boomtown. This frenzy of economic activity produced great wealth and a subsequent "will to greatness" in its leading citizens that brought the best and brightest talents of the Gilded Age to Buffalo. In the course of this ten-minute tour, you'll visit the tree-filled parks and mansion-lined parkways designed by Frederick Law Olmsted, as well as the masterworks left in Buffalo by such legendary architects as Frank Lloyd Wright, Louis Sullivan, HH Richardson, Stanford White, Richard Upjohn, Daniel Burnham and Eliel and Eero Saarinen.
