Buffalo City Hall
Modern Architecture · Buffalo, New York
⚠ ONE OF THE GREAT ART DECO BUILDINGS IN AMERICA and among the largest municipal buildings in the country — a 398-foot 1931 tower on Niagara Square, lavishly ornamented inside and out, ⚠ WITH A FREE OBSERVATION DECK ON THE 28TH FLOOR that gives the best view in Buffalo across the city, Lake Erie and, on a clear day, the mist above Niagara.
65 Niagara Square, Buffalo, New York, 14202, United States
⚠⚠ FREE — the building, the lobby and the 28TH-FLOOR OBSERVATION DECK cost nothing, and it is the best view in Buffalo: the city, the Olmsted parkways, Lake Erie, the Canadian shore and ON A CLEAR DAY THE MIST RISING OFF NIAGARA thirty miles north. ⚠ THE CONSTRAINT IS TIME, NOT MONEY. Go on a WEEKDAY DURING BUSINESS HOURS — it is a WORKING CITY HALL and the deck is GENERALLY UNAVAILABLE AT WEEKENDS AND ON PUBLIC HOLIDAYS, so a Saturday trip is a wasted one. ⚠ SECURITY SCREENING APPLIES; bring photo identification. ⚠ FREE GUIDED TOURS HAVE RUN ON WEEKDAYS from the lobby. ⚠ CONFIRM DECK ACCESS BY TELEPHONE BEFORE TRAVELLING, since it follows municipal operations rather than a museum schedule. ⚠ Go on a clear day or the Niagara mist will not show.
