I've always wondered why this area along Seneca and Exchange Streets is not used more to its potential. (As if much of Buffalo's resources are!) But if you drive on Exchange Street from Main, there's almost nothing except shovel-ready sites just begging for development. This area is adjacent to downtown (though technically within the downtown "core"). It has easy access to the I-190, amazing views of the skyline...and it's also close to the Larkin at Exchange Building (which has an amazing cafeteria for the office-lunch crowd, by the way.) Chef's restaurant is also in the 'hood. These museums are an exciting and welcomed (potential) addition to this part of the city that is badly in need of some attention! Best of luck to the Sandoros, and thanks for your efforts!

I thought that the museum was closed to the public. The last time I checked the website, it appeared as though it hadn't been updated in more than a year.

I also noticed that the big billboard on Michigan Ave, near the I-190, that advertises the museum is for an event in 2001 or 2002. Is there any way that we could update that?

What can we do to help? Are there fundraising events planned? I am excited to see the filling station constructed as soon as possible.

BTW, does anyone know if this FLW filling station is the same design that Ayn Rand talks about in the Fountainhead?

Hey Jim, Check out this link:

Lo-tek is an architecture firm out of New York City that has done alot of work using rail containers. They also have alot of good examples of innovative exhibition and event design work. Check out their 'Container Strip' Project. Pretty cool stuff. I would go to a railroad museum if it looked like this. Who needs a billboard when the building is the billboard?!

The 4 year old billboard ad is an embarrassment for Buffalo. If Sandoro is serious about his museum, he should update it or take it down...

We now have a Transportation District? Who sits around making this nonsense up?

i hope he gets rid of the salmon and white checker board!

Transporation district?? HAHAHAHA what a joke

There is a gas station in "The Fountainhead", but it is designed by the main character, not Wright.

There is a Wright gas station in Clocquet, MN - but it was designed abut 15 years after Rand's book was written.
