Building Description: The Brisbane Building is a cornerstone of downtown Buffalo. It was designed by Milton Beebe and erected in 1895. It has weathered the Pan Am Exhibition, two World Wars, a banking crash and remains well occupied and positioned for the future following an extensive restoration program.
The building at one time had a very significant retail presence including Woolworth’s and Kleinhans Department Store. These days, the building is home to a variety of professional tenants as well as a cutting-edge art gallery and the Beebe’s at the Gallery Event Center.
