Rand Building, Art Deco skyscraper in Buffalo, United States
The Rand Building is an Art Deco skyscraper with 29 floors located in downtown Buffalo, standing approximately 405 feet tall. It features a distinctive stepped-back facade that tapers toward the top, a hallmark of the Art Deco style.
The building was constructed in 1929 on the former site of the Olympic Theatre and became Buffalo's tallest structure. Its design influenced architects working on the Empire State Building.
The building is named after George F. Rand Sr., a Marine Midland Bank president who played a major role in developing Buffalo's broadcasting industry. Radio stations operated here for decades, shaping how the city heard news and music.
The building is easy to access and clearly visible from the street level throughout downtown. Its ground floor and lower levels accommodate shops and offices that operate during regular business hours.
The rooftop dining room was originally used by George F. Rand Jr. for private business meetings with sweeping city views. This exclusive space became a gathering place for Buffalo's business leaders.
