Main Seneca Building

The Main Seneca Building is a 17-story commercial structure in downtown Buffalo built with granite, stone brick, and limestone. The structure stands at the corner of Main Street and Seneca Street within the central business district.

The building was designed and completed in 1913 by Edward Brodhead Green, an architect educated at Cornell University. Its construction came during a period of rapid urban transformation in Buffalo.

The building reflects Buffalo's prosperity during the early 20th century when commerce and industry drove the city's growth. It stands as a reminder of when this city was a major business hub.

The building's central location makes it easy to reach on foot from downtown. You can view it from the street to appreciate its architectural details and stonework.

Edward Brodhead Green, who designed this building, was extraordinarily productive during his 72-year career. He created more than 370 significant structures throughout his professional life.
