My Favorite Buildings (An Update)
While fumbling around on Flickr at the recommendation of "Fix Buffalo Today For Tomorrow" I stumbled on a treasure trove of Buffalo images. One that specifically caught my eye was this interior taken by David Coffee. I will have more from Mr. Coffee in the near future.
The image is of the interior of a building on Virginia near the corner of Delaware that I featured not too long ago on BR-O. In that post, I alluded to its spectacular interior. This image shows a small section inside the first floor. WOW!!! is the only appropriate response. Buffalo has so many riches both in plain sight and concealed from view. This building is spectacular form top to bottom, inside and out. Thanks David for shinning some light on one of Buffalo's hidden treasures.

So Long Elmwood, Hello University District
Ever since the Falafel Bar opened on Allen Street, it was only a matter of time before the Elmwood location was no longer for this world. I spoke to owner, Oded Rauvenpoor, who told me that the decision to close came when he was at a crossroads. He found himself happy with his Allentown diggs, but began eying another part of the city for the Elmwood restaurant. In the end, Oded decided that he wanted to try his hand in the University District (3476 Main Street). I guess there was … - Yesterday, 8:41pm

I believe the photo shown is of the interior of a building on North Street between Elmwood and Richmond. The space was on the Secrets of Allentown tour this past year.

Well I stand corrected folks.
This interior is NOT inside the building I thought it was in. My mistake stems from the fact that it is so similar I did not think there could be another one like it. Goes to show you that Buffalo is full of surprises. It turns out that this glorious Middle Eastern inspired "dome" was originally installed at the Pan American Exhibition and was then installed into a large red brick mansion on North Street. As noted above many may have seen it on the Secrets of Allentown tour. This proves that that tour is well worth the effort.
Sorry for the mistake.

The S.o.A. tour was great. Perhaps the building near Virginia and Delaware will be on the tour next year. I'd love to see the inside. It's one of my favorites too.
