Rand Building, Art Deco skyscraper in Buffalo, United States
The Rand Building reaches a height of 405 feet with its distinctive stepped-back architectural design and 29 floors in downtown Buffalo.
Built in 1929 on the former site of Olympic Theatre, the Rand Building stood as Buffalo's tallest structure and influenced the design of the Empire State Building.
The building carries the name of George F. Rand Sr., a Marine Midland Bank president who significantly contributed to Buffalo's radio broadcasting development.
Multiple radio stations, including WTSS, WBLK, WBUF, and WYRK, operate their broadcasting studios from the building and utilize the rooftop beacon for transmissions.
The structure features a private dining room on the top floor, originally used by George F. Rand Jr. for business meetings with panoramic city views.
