That's great to hear, Mr. Miller. I hope I'm able to see the building in person one day. Always been fascinated by railroad-related things.

I ran across your pics while checking out sites about waverly hills. I have to say that you are an excellent photographer. Also, you look like my tattoo artist! How strange.....

Motts your photos are amazing. Next time in Buffalo you need to visit the old Wildroot factory on Bailey ave. overpass just north of Broadway. This plant has been closed 30 some years.

The city has never been responsible for the terminal. It has always been in the hands of private owners. The first owner, New York Central Railroad, stopped maintaining the building decades ago, so things like the flat roofs were leaking as early as the late 60's. Subsequent owners were even less responsible, however well intended they may have been at first. It wasn't until the CTRC purchase the building in 1997, that true maintenance and preservation efforts began. Since then, the flat roofs and end caps have been fixed, 300 tons of debris has been removed and over 4,000 broken windows have been sealed. The building is dry and constantly stabliziing. Over $1 million has been invested to date, and the efforts continue.

according to the buffalocentralterminal site, it was built the same year as the Empire State Building. I imagine that could account for some of the similarities. They are both heavily Art Deco. I wonder who the architect was on this project?

I wonder if these are the answer to that strange passageway you showed a few frames back. They look to be about the same width.
