Buffalo Central Terminal, Art Deco railway station in Broadway-Fillmore district, Buffalo, United States.
The 17-story terminal features an octagonal tower rising 271 feet, with a 225-foot-long concourse decorated with Roman arched windows and Guastavino tile ceilings.
The New York Central Railroad inaugurated this terminal on June 22, 1929, with 2,200 guests attending a celebration marked by music performances and formal speeches.
The terminal's four-sided clock and bronze bison statue served as meeting points for travelers, with the bison becoming a symbol of fortune for departing soldiers.
