C4GB Holiday Meet-Up
The Campaign for Greater Buffalo History, Architecture, and Culture will mix of all of the above at their annual Holiday Meet-up on Tuesday, December 16, at the legendary Lafayette Tap Room.
One of Buffalo's greatest bar spaces, the Lafayette Tap Room was built about a century ago in an early (and sympathetic) addition to Louise Bethune's Hotel Lafayette. The Tap Room has 16-foot-high ceilings and is adorned by a mounted Buffalo (bison) head that is certainly itself a Buffalo landmark. The event is free for Campaign members and $10 for friends. The main event will be from 6–8, then at 8, acoustic blues performer Fritz the Cat will take the stage at the front of the barroom.
Buffalo's hometown craft brewer, Flying Bison, will be providing seasonal brews (after all, it’s not the CHAMPAGNE for Greater Buffalo!), and finger foods will be served. The Tap Room will have its full menu of hearty tavern fare—far and above typical pub grub—available for those wishing a sit-down dinner in the commodious dining room.
In addition to great food, drink, and architecture, the Campaign also promises the following for those who stop by this event: scintillating conversation, and updates on various preservation issues, including the Fruitbelt, Prospect Hill, and the Richardson/Olmsted Complex.

My Favorite Buildings
After reading a recent Buffalo News story about funding and delays in renovation of the Buffalo State Psychiatric Hospital I was reminded of how much I love that building.

However I really love the part that no one thinks of, the 1/4 mile long wings (or should I say wing since one wing was lopped off in the 60's). This building is not considered to be one of Richardson's best buildings. But, t …

My Favorite Buildings
This house on Richmond Avenue is very unusual for Buffalo. It stands out among its wooden neighbors not only in material but also in detail and form. Buffalo is overwhelmingly constructed of wood with brick coming in a distant second as a material. Stone houses are very rare. Also rare is the Palazzo styling and shape of this house. Buffalo's Queen Anne Victorians are strong expressions of Buffalo's new money attitude in the late 1800's and early 1900's. Unlike staid Delawa …
