Unitarian Universalist Church of Buffalo
Unitarian Universalist Church of Buffalo, Gothic Revival church in Elmwood Historic District, Buffalo, United States
The Unitarian Universalist Church of Buffalo features Indiana limestone walls, a crenelated turret, and oak doors with wrought-iron decorative elements at 695 Elmwood Avenue.
First established in 1831 as separate Unitarian and Universalist congregations, the churches merged in 1953, preceding the national denominational unification by eight years.
The McCann Memorial Library contains 2,700 books covering religion, philosophy, and life issues, serving both the congregation and community members seeking knowledge.
The sanctuary accommodates 400 people under an oak hammer beam ceiling, and accessibility improvements from 2001 include an elevator and modified restrooms.
Former president Millard Fillmore contributed to the original church construction and welcomed Abraham Lincoln during his pre-inauguration visit to Buffalo.
