Downtown Buffalo presents excellent examples of the entire spectrum of American architecture from the early 1800s to the present – including modern architecture. This walking tour of downtown Buffalo will focus on buildings built in the modern and postmodern styles, including buildings by Minoru Yamasaki, Edward Durell Stone, and Kohn Pedersen Fox. The tour will also explain the evolution of architecture from some of downtown’s older buildings to these more contemporary structures.

Meet at the Tim Horton statue at Main Street & Marine Drive. The Erie Canal Harbor Metro Rail Station is adjacent to the statue. Some on-street parking is available on surrounding streets.
