Hellenic Orthodox Church of the Annunciation

The Hellenic Orthodox Church of the Annunciation is a church in Buffalo featuring Gothic Revival architecture with a decorative front tower and detailed stained glass windows throughout. The building displays the ornamental style typical of early 1900s sacred architecture.

The building was constructed between 1904 and 1907 as North Presbyterian Church before becoming a Greek Orthodox congregation in 1952. A fire in 2001 damaged the historic windows, leading to professional restoration work on the stained glass.

The interior shows Orthodox traditions with an iconostasis that separates the altar from the main worship space. Religious artworks and icons throughout reflect the Eastern Orthodox faith and practice.

The building sits at the intersection of Delaware Avenue and West Utica in Buffalo on a sizable property. Visitors can access the interior to experience the Orthodox worship space and view the architectural details of the building.

The stained glass windows were created by renowned craftsmen Harry E. Goodhue and John Hardman and Co and represent fine artistry from that era. After fire damage in 2001, J & R Lamb Studios carefully restored them to preserve their original beauty.
