West Village Historic District
West Village Historic District, Historic district in Buffalo, New York, United States.
West Village Historic District is a neighborhood in Buffalo with 102 buildings constructed between 1854 and 1914, featuring single-family homes and apartment buildings. The structures display Second Empire, Gothic Revival, and Italianate architectural styles from that era.
The neighborhood developed from the estate of Ebenezer Johnson, Buffalo's first mayor, and the South Village area of Black Rock. This origin shaped how the district grew and what was built there during the 1800s.
Johnson Park within the district displays Frederick Law Olmsted's landscape design and shapes how the neighborhood feels today. The park reflects urban planning ideals of the 1800s and is used by both residents and visitors.
The neighborhood stretches between South Elmwood Avenue, West Huron, Niagara, Carolina, and Tracy Streets and is walkable throughout. You can easily reach Buffalo's downtown core and Lake Erie from this location.
Hutchinson Central Technical High School sits among the residential buildings and adds school architecture to this preserved neighborhood. This 1800s school building creates an interesting contrast within the surrounding homes.
