Travel + Leisure explains, “Buffalo’s eclectic skyline—which features an octagonal spire, a Neo-Classical highrise topped with twin Statue of Liberty replicas, and a towering Art Deco city hall—is a testament to its rich history. The city is credited as a birthplace of “American” architecture, where the country’s rising architects—Frank Lloyd Wright, for example—tested their mettle.”

Visitors can tour restored architectural gems and revel at designs by a variety of luminaries, including Louis Sullivan, H.H. Richardson, Frank Lloyd Wright, Eliel & Eero Saarinen and Louise Bethune, America’s first professional female architect. Travelers will discover how the city and developers have not only preserved these gems of design and form, but repurposed them for the modern age.
