Buffalo City Hall, Buffalo (must see)

Buffalo City Hall is an Art Deco building spanning 32 stories. This building dates back to 1932 and is one of the tallest buildings in western New York and one of the United States' tallest municipal buildings. Dietel, Wade & Jones was responsible for the building's construction.

The City Hall received National Register of Historic Places status in 1999. Some of the highlights include sculpture from Rene Paul Chambellan and friezes by Albert Stewart. The statues feature the likenesses of Grover Cleveland, the former Buffalo mayor and President of the United States, as well as former Congressman and U.S. President Millard Fillmore.

Outside the City Hall, there is a monument to President William McKinley, who was assassinated nearby. The council chambers have an impressive stained glass window in the ceiling. A mural at the east side of the entrance by William de Leftwich Dodge celebrates Buffalo's pioneer history.
