That chair sure get around!

Nicely done, sir.

Enjoyed my tour! Thanks Mr. Motts.

Extremely similar. The first floor was so much cleaner and in better condition. How long do they expect renovations to take?

I wonder how many people stood in line to buy tickets to who-knows-where? Maybe a man going to Los Angles for business in the 1930s or perhaps a young GI heading to New York to board a ship for England during World War 2. Each person who stood here had a story. Now it stands silent.

Sure does make you wonder how they built these behemoths without all the technology we have today. And with the technology, we have gone back to sterile cookie cutter ugly buildings.

Awesome! And its always better when there is no skulking involved!
Mama I see the face too .

The magnitude it awe inspiring. I love the masonry. A lot of labor went into constructing this.

Just watched the movie trailer. Thanks Sundown.

Another example of the attention to the smallest detail. Restored, this would be exquisite.

I bet the light bulbs were a bear to change.

Time and decay was wrapping their fingers around this magnificent structure. I hope those who are restoring this has had a chance to halt & reverse it's progress. Still, breathtaking beauty on a grand scale.

@ Momma: Yep, I see the Ying & Yang on the wall. Good eye. I would have never caught that.

Designed to make a beautiful first impression of the City of Buffalo. This terminal did it well.

I agree Phiftybuick. The craftsmanship is incredible. All this was built by hand using 1920s technology and tools. No computers or CAD. Just a steady eye and talented artist.

Very interesting. Something that caught my eye was the Art Deco sign in the background that read "Rest Rooms." That's carved into the wall with gold inlay. Wow. Such attention to detail.
