Abandoned Buffalo

Abandoned Buffalo Church

Abandoned Buffalo and Western New York

Buffalo, New York has undergone a rapid decline in the postwar era, losing more than half its population and much of its economic base.  Much like, but not to the extent of Detroit, Michigan.  The streets of Buffalo are now peppered with abandoned churches, factories, concrete silos, a massive abandoned train station and much more.  While downtown Buffalo is still alive and well with business, bars, sporting venues, banks hotels and small business, one can not avoid the many derelict buildings throughout the streets of Abandoned Buffalo.

    That is insane… I explored the Central Terminal a few weeks ago and took the exact same photo of staircase 22 while I was there. I didnt even know this website existed until just now so that is one hell of a coincidence… By the way, if you can see the email associated with this comment, hit me up, I’m itching to find more places here to explore.

    I’m an artist and I’d love to visit some of these places to do some live sketches. Where can I find these churches?

  5. Hi there, I agree Buffalo has its secrets. I wonder if you know who built what they call the “underground railway tunnels” in and around western NY. The Internet concentrates on the slave routes, but no mention is made of how the original tunnels were made, by whom, or used. Indeed, every slave using them was not asked to lay a few bricks or dig their fair share of shovel fulls. I know of two old homes near Clarence, NY that had secret entries to the tunnels. One is demolished now and had a moveable bookcase to cover entry to the tunnel. I went to the Senior Prom with a guy who lived there. The other had the tunnel sealed off when a pocket of methane gas was seeping into the home forcing an evacuation of the residence.
    The old 400 Forest Ave Insane Asylum was built during the trend to commit women on hearsay and remove their children who likely ended up on the orphan trains for child labor use. Once the modern building surface face falls away, the construction of the older buildings is pretty advanced and fascinating. The original builders have my respect. It appears we have periods of lost history afoot. The church ceiling has a Moorish Tartarian look to it. I just spotted an older home with a metal turret in Mt. Morris. Pieces that do not fit are scattered everywhere. What are they hiding?
