Located near the corner of Miami Street, the three-story, 9,568 sq.ft. property is two blocks from the Seneca Nation casino site. It was formerly used as a stable and later as the Courier Express print shop. Current owner David Hill purchased the property for $39,000 in 2003.
McBride's Tavern (c.1850's) at 115 Chicago Street was demolished after ice and high winds and improper upkeep led to the building’s façade to crumble. The three-story former hotel and Erie Canal-era tavern, once known as Quinn’s Pub, was the site where the first Buffalo St. Patrick’s Day Parade was organized in 1913.
