Development Update: Artspace
Construction on the Artspace project located at 1219 Main Street in Buffalo's Midtown neighborhood is moving along at a rapid clip. The sidewalk along Main Street has been removed and the ground floor has been gutted to make room for retail spaces and the lobby. Through the windows on the upper floors, one can see that framing for the individual live/work lofts is continuing. Around back the first floors of the new live/work four-plexes are framed out awaiting their second floors.
In total, Artspace Buffalo will contain 60 live/work artists lofts, 36 units in the Buffalo Electric Vehicle Company building, and 24 units in 6 four-plexes located behind the building. There will be almost 10,000 sq.ft. of retail space located on the ground floor along Main Street which will be leased to arts organizations and arts-friendly businesses. Leasing applications for prospective artists will begin being accepted in the Spring. Artspace Buffalo's website can be found here.
FixBuffalo has an extensive archive on his blog located here. The City's plan for the Midtown Neighborhood, which I was fortunate enough to work on, can be found on FixBuffalo's site here.

This structure designed by H.H. Richardson is massive and I love the whole thing. 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 …

I wonder what will happen to the attached low rise post office wing.

The post office and meth clinic are a separate building and still owned the previous owner of the artspace building. There is also underground parking with the PO building. The PO still has a lease for a number of years. So bottom line is nothing is happening with the Post Office, it will continue to serve the public for some years to come.
