Taken at Buffalo Central Terminal. It was the largest railroad station in the world when it opened in 1929. The terminal was built and operated by the New York Central Railroad and served as a major transportation hub for the city of Buffalo and the surrounding region.
The design of Buffalo Central Terminal is a stunning example of Art Deco architecture, featuring a 17-story office tower and a concourse that spans over 500 feet in length. The interior of the terminal was adorned with decorative elements, including intricate metalwork and impressive ceiling murals.
In 1979, after years of decline, the terminal was closed to the public. Despite efforts by preservationists and the local community to save the building, it fell into a state of disrepair. However, there have been ongoing restoration efforts and initiatives to revitalize the terminal and its surrounding area.
