Description
Buffalo's City Hall is a building that is much overlooked and often ignored, but Buffalo would not be what it is today without this building. City Hall was built by the John W. Cowper Company, which was the same firm that earlier had built the Statler hotel and The Buffalo Athletic Club. The total cost of the building of City Hall was $6,851,546.85, including architect fees, making it at the time one of the most costly city halls in the country.

So much work and detil put into this building, inside and out. Art deco at it's finest. The characters that are carved into the stone around the outside perimeter of the building along it's walls are a very nice touch depicting the 12 months of the year and seasons. So much detail, one would have to see it in person.
